SUMMARY:Sacred Writing in Darkness
DESCRIPTION:Poets Shana Rose\, parishioner at St. Luke’s\, Portland\, and Julia Baker\, Mercy Hospital chaplain and parishioner at St. Alban’s\, Cape Elizabeth\, have announced the next dates for their new ecumenical ministry. “Sacred Writings in Darkness.” Held in the cathedral’s Emmanuel Chapel\, these monthly sessions each have a different theme and offer a time for guided sacred writing\, including poetry\, prayers\, songs\, and vignettes.

SUMMARY:All That Is Within Us: A Research Presentation
DESCRIPTION:For two years\, The BTS Center has been researching the unique role churches can play in a climate-changed world. Now they’re ready to share their findings with us. \nAt this free presentation you’ll hear all about how 12 churches in northern New England discerned their communities’ unique role in a climate-changed world—not whether we should engage the climate crisis\, but whether faith communities have something irreplaceable to offer that no solar company\, policymakers\, or tech startup can replicate. \nWhat’s more: you’ll learn what this means for your context: your faith community\, your neighborhood\, the place where you are rooted. \nREGISTER
