With this service we will begin to explore what it means to Live with Intention, the focused theme for this month. Our speaker wil be Dr. Mary Thurlkill, a comparative religion scholar from the University of Mississippi.
Dr. Mary Thurlkill will be our speaker and she will share from her studies of pilgrimage as an intentional process of being part of a religious tradition. She is interested in understanding 'why' Christians and Muslims travel to holy spaces, what 'makes' it holy, what happens during the pilgrimage. Her recent travels have taken her to Loreto, Italy-- where the "Holy House" is located (a medieval tradition describes how Jesus/Mary/Joseph's house flew from Nazareth to Italy in the 12th century ) where she interviewed pilgrims about their experiences/beliefs and how they think about pilgrimage.
We are a welcoming congregation and invite you to join us for services online this Sunday at 11:00 am. Unfortunately we are unable to publish the link to the service due to security concerns. Please contact Sandra Moss at [email protected] to have the link sent to you. Please request link before Sunday.
