| Lauren Winner to Lead Women's Retreat |
 "Some days I am not sure if my faith is riddled with doubt, or whether, graciously, my doubt is riddled with faith. And yet I continue to live in a world the way a religious person lives in the world; I keep living in a world that I know to be enchanted, and not left alone. I doubt; I am uncertain; I am restless, prone to wander. And yet glimmers of holy keep interrupting my gaze." From Still: Notes on a Mid-faith Crisis.
Encountering the faith journey with a sense of humor, an understanding of challenge and reality, as well as an appreciation for the rich historic background of our human journey are only some of the gifts that Dr. Winner brings to the wider Church. Specifically, she will share those gifts and more in Lexington on September 26 and 27 as she hosts a women's retreat at Good Shepherd, Lexington. Her time will include a Wine & Cheese on Friday from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. and Retreat Sessions on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. followed by Holy Eucharist. Lauren will be preaching at the Sunday morning liturgies and speaking at Rector's Forum.
Winner is the author of Girl Meets God, Mudhouse Sabbath, and Still: Notes on a Mid-faith Crisis. She serves as an Episcopal priest in the Diocese of North Carolina and teaches at Duke Divinity School. You can read more about Dr. Winner here. The retreat will begin Friday evening at Good Shepherd and conclude on Saturday afternoon. The cost for the Friday-Saturday event is $20 and includes lunch. All women are welcome and can register online here. For more information, please contact Good Shepherd (859) 252-1744. This retreat is co-sponsored by Good Shepherd and First Presbyterian Church, Lexington. |
