SUMMARY:Lament with Earth
DESCRIPTION:Seasonal events honoring the pain of loss through the liturgical year\n\n\nWednesdays  7:30 – 8:30 p.m. • Online\n“We know and feel in our bones that something primal is amiss. Our extended home is being eroded. It is essential that we stop and recognize these losses…to respond with sorrow\, outrage and apology at these places touched by so much loss.” — Francis Weller \n\n\nSo many of us know this truth voiced by Francis Weller. And yet\, we have so few opportunities to express our sorrow\, fear\, sadness and yes\, even despair about a future of life in a climate-changed world. It takes courage to touch the places inside ourselves where these truths live — those thoughts and feelings that likely keep many of us up at night\, but are too often held inside us\, in a space both alone\, and lonely. \nTo create space for these feelings\, The BTS Center — together with The Many\, an extraordinary group of songwriters\, spoken word artists and liturgists — has created Lament with Earth — seasonal events featuring original music\, poetry\, rituals\, images\, scripture and videos to reflect different seasons of loss through the liturgical year. These events are interactive\, inviting you to pray and sing along. You are  invited to bring your own sense of loss and sadness. We lament together\, and also share that which has been a balm to our grief\, strengthening us for the work we know awaits us. \nDates:\nWednesday\, November 1\, 2023 • Video recording\nWednesday\, December 6\, 2023 • Video recording\nWednesday\, February 21\, 2024\nWednesday\, May 8\, 2024\nWednesday\, June 12\, 2024 \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Formation Conversation for the Diocese of Maine
DESCRIPTION:“Formation” is the work of deepening our faith and learning about God\, our faith tradition and ourselves throughout the course of our lives. And how we “form” Episcopalians is changing a lot as our churches and communities change! No matter what your connection to forming Christians is\, you are welcome at these informal conversations where we share ideas and updates\, bring our questions\, and pray for one another. You can come to one\, two or all conversations; they are held via Zoom on the third Thursday of each month from 10-11 am. Questions? Please be in touch with Emily Keniston.
