Upcoming Adult Christian Formation Presenters:
April 7 - “What the Builder Rejected: The Sacramental Stones” Presented by Jim Zingarelli
I’ve been carving in stone for 40 years now and I continue to take particular interest in repurposing stone that was originally intended for industrial use (floors, sinks, countertops), reinventing it in some aesthetic meaningful way, where the stone references anew its earthy origins and perhaps reminds us that we too, as “dust” can find redemption. I’m also often looking to create work that has some interactive element, where the viewer becomes more of a participant. During the Adult Ed hour, I will be discussing how I came to make a set of some 200 “Sacramental Stones” which each of us will be using for both Eucharistic services. Please note: these are not meant in any way, to be “magic” stones, but instead physical metaphors in the context of Eucharist and reflection.
April 14 & 21 - “Rejoice Now, all you Heavenly Legions of Angels:” The Story of the Easter Exultet Presented by Dr. Tom Kelly
Two talks about the mysteries of the Paschal candle on Easter eve, and the wonderful illustrated scrolls, ambos, carved candlesticks, and musical sounds that arose in the Middle Ages. Plenty of pictures and sound; and lots of bees!
April 28 - Liesl Smith
May 5, 12, & 19 - Joanna Kline
