“The Church Cracked Open” Book Study
Join us for a discussion of “The Church Cracked Open” by the Rev. Canon Stephanie Spellers, who serves as the Presiding Bishop’s Canon for Evangelism, Reconciliation and Creation.
Less than 140 pages long, this deeply theological book looks at the history of Christianity in general and the Episcopal Church in particular and challenges us to consider how we might learn and grow from the racial reckoning and COVID pandemic of the last 18 months to help build true beloved community.
We will meet on Sunday, September 12 and Sunday. September 26 outside at the church from 4 to 5 p.m. If either the weather or COVID intervene, we will shift to Zoom.
Learn more about the book and Mother Stephanie here.
Signup to participate in the discussion here. Space is limited and pre-registration is required.
If you have questions, please contact Aleta McClenney at aleta@att.net or Leah Dail at leah.dail@gmail.com. Offered by the St. Paul’s Racial Justice Planning Group.
