Previous series:
Confirmation, Reception, & Reaffirmation of Faith Series
In January we offered an Adult Forum series designed especially for those preparing for Confirmation, Reception, or Reaffirmation of Faith—and also as a great opportunity for anyone wanting to reconnect with the heart of our Episcopal tradition. These sessions were less about having all the “right answers” and more about grounding our faith in prayer, practice, and lived discipleship.
Richard Rohr’s “Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life”
Rector Greg led us in exploring Richard Rohr’s book Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life. Rohr invites us to consider how the first half of life is about building our “container”—identity, success, belonging—while the second half is about discovering the “contents”—wisdom, compassion, and the True Self God has always seen in us.
“Growing in Cultural Competency” with Rev. Franklin Morales
A foundational look at Latino cultures in the U.S. and their evolution, with a focus on ministry within the Episcopal Church. The first three sessions explore Latino Ministries at the national level, while the final two highlight communities and experiences in the Diocese of North Carolina. Traditions, faith practices, and histories that shape Latino communities, including the central role of immigration and the rich diversity of ages, and cultures, are covered. Ideal for those seeking to grow in cultural awareness and ministry readiness.
Rev. Morales is the Missioner for Hispanic Ministries of the Diocese of North Carolina.
