Parish-Based Education Sessions

These can be offered at any time of the year. The standard is the first four sessions with an option to continue for two additional sessions or as a self-contained Adult or Youth Forum. Topics include, but are not limited to: an introduction to faith and justice, poverty, the environment and racism. Each topic will contain the roots of biblical justice, Episcopal identity, shared conversation and reflection. The following is the format for the Introduction to Faith and Justice Sessions:

Each one and a half hour session has the following:

  1. Prayer at beginning and end
  2. A Biblical Reading and Reflection
  3. Focus Questions and Conversation
  4. Shared Reflections:
  5. What did I learn tonight about my life or life beyond my life?
  6. How did God challenge or stretch me tonight?
