Enter the Conversation: Water and Liturgy
|
Thursday, March 8, at 7 p.m.
The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine
From baptism to funerals to ritual cleansing, water is used in most religions to signify passage-into life or into death, from the everyday to the to sacred. A woman's water breaks just before her child is born. Rivers carry away the dead. Everywhere we see spirit, we see water. It is above us, below us, inside us. Liturgy is a language of metaphor, and water can be used as a metaphor for nearly everything. Water connects different countries by serving as boundary or transport; water connects spiritual traditions by reminding us how little boundaries mean. The role it plays in our lives, and the emotions and ideas it evokes, do not change much between cultures. To explore the use of water in liturgy is to see the common human awe of the divine, as well as human gratitude for the mercy of nature.
Kyabje Gelek Rimpoche, distinguished teacher and founder of Jewel Heart, a Tibetan Buddhist Center will join Daisy Khan, Executive Director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA), and The Reverend Tom Miller, Canon for Liturgy & the Arts at the Cathedral to examine how water is used and understood in the Abrahamic and Tibetan Buddhist traditions. The Very Reverend Dr. James A. Kowalski, Dean of the Cathedral, will moderate. An additional guest will be announced shortly.
The event is free; a contribution of $10.00 will be appreciated. Reservations are not required.

Trinity Church, Wall Street, March 17 and 24
Christ Church of Ramapo, Suffern, 4/27-28
Christ Church, Poughkeepsie, September 15 and 22
The purpose of the Diocesan antiracism training is to help us become aware of how the sin of racism impacts all of our lives, and how we all unconsciously and consciously participate in racist systems. It is required for clergy and highly recommended for lay leadership.
Dialog is the foundation of the two-day workshop (9:00 -4:00). We use group exercises and examine scientific and historical evidence (video format) concerning the origins of the concept of race and its legacy. Coffee and lunch are served and there is no cost to register and attend. Of the hundreds of workshop participants, over the past four years, more than 75% have found the workshop to be "very useful" or "extremely useful" in their work and daily lives. COST: The workshops are free to those serving in parishes of this diocese, or lay people who are congregants of the diocese, or diocesan/Cathedral staff. For all others $50.00. Register and pay online by clicking on the link above, or contact Arlene Bullard abullard@dioceseny.org, tel 212 932 7363.

Free introductory webinar, March 23, 2012 |
Join Professors Deirdre Good and Katherine Shaner of General Theological Seminary for an illuminating and informative journey to Asia Minor (modern day Turkey), exploring both the urban contexts out of which early Christianity was shaped and some of the spaces in which Christianity grew to prominence. They explain that through visits to some of the great archaeological sites of the world, the group will examine the historical and cultural context in which the earliest Christians and their writings emerged.
This is a unique opportunity to travel with New Testament experts who know how to bring history to life in some of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the world. We invite you to join us!
To find out more about this fascinating trip download an information sheet or visit www.gts.edu/turkey2013 . You are also encouraged to join a free online webinar on March 23, 2012 where Profs. Good and Shaner will present a preview of sights from the trip and answer questions. Click to register for the webinar.

While optional, we recommend having one "just in case." Andrew is generally available Monday-Friday 9:30-11:30am and 1:30-4:30pm. To be on the safe side, make an appointment by email to agary@dioceseny.org or call 212-932-7322. (For those who can't travel to the Diocesan offices during business hours, Andrew can make a card using an emailed digital photograph, and send it to you in the mail.)
