Are you in search of spirituality? Do you believe that you can still find vital impulses in Christianity despite its long and difficult history? Are you perplexed by resistance to change? Do you wonder if it is possible to reconcile faith and people's reality? Do you want to avoid becoming entrapped in rigid new orthodoxies? Are you not looking for absolutes, but enjoy sharing your hopes and listening to others' ideas? We will be exploring these and other themes. The meetings will be held in Italian.   

 

Ti consideri una persona in ricerca spirituale. Pensi che il cristianesimo possa ancora esprimere impulsi vitali nonostante il suo
lungo e travagliato percorso storico. Rimani perplesso di fronte alle chiusure al rinnovamento. Ti chiedi se non sarebbe possibile una riconciliazione tra la fede e il mondo reale delle persone. Non ti interessa imbarcarti in una nuova rigida ortodossia. Non cerchi risposte assolute ma ti piace condividere le tue speranze e ascoltare le idee degli altri.

Questi, e non solo, sono i temi che vorremmo affrontare con amici che li condividono con noi. Gli incontri si terranno in lingua italiana.

Responsabili degli eventi per la St. James Church:
Il Rev. Mark Dunnam (Rector).
Prof. Gianluigi Gugliermetto (Teologo Anglicano), in collegamento
Skype da Chicago.
Dr. Nicoletta Arbusti (Chiesa Episcopale Americana - psicologa).
Co-relatrice e Moderatore degli incontri: Dr. Anita Tosi, Teologa,
Chiesa Cattolica Romana.

In our speaker's view, for half a century "Latin has been placed on a dusty, imposing, ancient pedestal. This is quite wrong - Latin has an immediate, vivid, vital existence today. Even a passing knowledge of the language is a key to the modern world. It reveals not just the roots of English and Italian, but also provides the underpinning of Western art, architecture, history and philosophy. Best of all, though, it unlocks the beauties of Roman literature in the original language." Harry Mount is the author of A lust for window sills (about architecture), and the best-selling Amo, amas, amat...and all that, published in 2006.

 

All are welcome
