June 6 – DF28: The once and future Jesus (The Dean)

​

In this session, the Dean will explore the interplay between the historical Jesus and some of his many "afterlives" during the last 2,000 years. This presentation draws on the opening chapter of a new collection of essays, edited by the Dean, with 30+ contributors from around the world: Afterlives. Jesus in Global Perspective.

March 7 – DF27: The Shape of Worship (The Dean)

​

When we gather for worship there is a spiritual architecture to our sacred gathering. From an informal house mass to a solemn festival Eucharist in a cathedral, there is a certain shape to the process and it revolves around two great points of encounter with the God who is among us: Scripture and Table. This online session of the Dean's Forum will assist us to better prepared for our worship and more engaged with the process. PDF Handout

February 7 – DF26: Mark among the Gospels (The Dean)

​

In late November 2020, we started a new liturgical year during which we focus especially on the way that the Gospel of Mark interprets the meaning of Jesus. In the coming year, we will be hearing how Mark understands Jesus. This seminar will help us prepare to spend a year with Mark as we explore the meaning of Jesus for us today.
