ADULT FORUM
Fr. Dale will teach about our heritage as Anglicans & Episcopalians using slides, and the book he edited (available in St. George’s Gift Shop), Archbishop Michael Ramsey’s The Anglican Spirit. The book was originally published in 1991, & re-published by the Episcopal Church’s “Church Publishing” as a Seabury classic in 2004. It includes a Foreword by the present Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams. The revised schedule with expanded subjects:
Nov. 8: Victorian England – Oxford Movement and the impact of Darwin.
Nov. 15 20th Century Anglicanism and C.S. Lewis in an age of unbelief.
Nov. 22: Since WWII adjusting to a growing unbelieving culture
Nov. 29: The Episcopal Church today.
Further note: Our Parish Library holds many wonderful classics for Episcopalians, and it would reward anyone to look over our collection. There is no better introduction to the Christian Faith than Bishop N. T. Wright’s Simply Christian. C. S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity is a great classic from WWII. A 3rd book is Alister McGrath’s I Believe. The latter two authors are from Northern Ireland.
THE 2010 FLOWER CHART is available on the KIOSK in the Parish Hall. Altar flowers may be donated in memory of a loved one or occasion of celebration, and cost is $40. Donations may be shared with others. If no one signs up for altar flowers the Altar Guild pays for them. Sanctuary light list is also posted -cost is $5.
