Speakers Series on Islam - Begins Sunday, January 10, 10-10:45 AM, at the Parish House
Islam, Judaism and Christianity share much as the three Abrahamic faiths, but Islam remains poorly understood in the US. In January, King's Chapel begins a series about Islam, with our first guest speaker, Celene Ibrahim, the Islamic Studies Scholar-in-Residence and Co-Director of the Center for Inter-Religious and Communal Leadership Education at Hebrew College & Andover Newton Theological School, and the Muslim Chaplain at Tufts. We'll meet at the Parish House, 64 Beacon Street, from 10-10:45, between our 9 AM and 11 AM services.

Retreat at Glastonbury Abbey, January 15-17, 2016
What is your favorite hymn? Is there a hymn that makes you cry, laugh, cringe? Are there words you don't believe? Is there a hymn that is central to your faith? In the beauty and peace of the Glastonbury Abbey in Hingham, Massachusetts, we will explore the theology, history and spirituality of Christian hymnody. We will discuss and reflect on classic hymns, and of course, sing! Start the new year making a joyful noise!

Martin Luther King Weekend Preacher
On Sunday, January 17th, we welcome as our preacher the Executive Director of Common Cathedral, the outdoor church on Boston Common that gathers weekly by the Park Street T stop. We've partnered with this congregation several times recently, including in our Christmas backpacks project. Amanda Grant-Rose is a frequent preacher at other churches, sharing about the work of her organization with those in Boston without homes -- times of worship and adult education, meals and spiritual reflection, artwork and conversation. Come and learn more about this important work and how we can continue to deepen our relationships.
