For 6 months of the liturgical year we retrace the story of Jesus--from anticipating his arrival to celebrating his birth and ministry to making sense of his death, resurrection, and ascension. During the season after Pentecost, we ponder the question: If Jesus is the Christ, then who are we? We invite you to seek answers through the many spiritual, educational, musical, and ministry opportunities at St. Philip's.
If you know of someone who might like to receive these e-updates, feel free to use the "forward to a friend" link to share the newsletter with them! That doesn't add them to any lists but gives them the opportunity to choose to subscribe.
We hope this e-letter is a useful tool in connecting and staying connected with our St. Philip's community!

10:15 a.m.: Atheism: The Blind Leading the Blind--East Gallery

Ron Lancaster wishes to dispute such assaults on faith, offering instead fresh insights and new thought on this oldest of disputes. With his sincere and invigorating style of oratory, Ron enlivens his listeners and shares the bounty of his subject.

Stop by and check the tables even if you don't think you've lost anything -- you may discover something that you didn't even know you were missing.

10:15 a.m.: Viewing Religion/Theology Through the Lens of Science--East Gallery
Religion is classically painted as being conflicted by a scientific worldview. This problem can be traced to how man-made religions have been literally appropriated into the psyche of adherents. Therefore, it is not surprising that many religions are threatened by science. On the other hand, if people are willing to explore how they think theologically, a synthesis can be approached. However, one must be open to change. The Rev. Dr. Thomas J. Lindell, presenting.

Update from the Wardens
|
It has been another exciting week in the search for a new Rector!!! The second of the three candidates visited for three days this past week. The candidate met with the vestry, interim clergy, various staff members, and affiliated clergy and deacons, as well as touring St. Philip's and Tucson. The discernment process will continue as the third candidate visits next week. Maintaining confidentiality about all candidate information is extremely important. We ask for your continued prayers as this discernment process continues. Almighty God, giver of every good gift: Look graciously on your Church, and so guide the minds of those who shall choose a rector for this parish that we may receive a faithful pastor, who will care for your people and equip us for our ministries; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (BCP, p. 818)  |
