Wednesday night Sharing Circle

Honest spiritual seeking and learning together - Wednesday, May 14, 2025

We continue our discussions begun in January 2025 Marcus Borg's "The God we Never Knew" after a break over the Easter period.

---

Sharing in circle has a long history of transformation and community strength in both indigenous and addictions recovery traditions.

Sharing in circle allows us both opportunity to listen, and when our turn arrives, to speak.

A topic is raised each Wednesday in the realms of Faith, Justice, Spirituality, and Action in the Christian tradition that we are invited to reflect on and share if we wish.

Rev. Jonathan usually facilitates the circle.  Please contact him for the zoom access: rector@staugustinesedmonton.com

We have used books, video, or individual presentations as our prompts for the evening.

"Doors" open at 7:45pm, process begins at 8pm-9pm.  The zoom stays on until 9:30pm latest for those who want to chat more.

Hello everyone!!
 
Anne and Peter's 'on again, off again' trip to the Sunshine coast is ON AGAIN!!!          
 
We will be leaving right after Easter, back home sometime around the middle of May. 
 
I had intended to have a wrap up 'gathering' on April 24, but that will have to wait till later on in May.
 
I will schedule it when we get our feet back on home turf, so we all have something to look forward to! 
 
See you all then.
Anne
