Before their pilgrimage to France, Stephanie and Reagan will be in Oxford for this year's Wycliffe Hall Summer School, focusing on “Undoing the Spell: C.S. Lewis and the Undeceiving of our Generation.”

Whether you are new to St. John the Divine or a long-time member, you might have some questions about what Christians believe and how The Episcopal Church fits into those beliefs. Join Dr. Kira Moolman Pettit and guest clergy teachers to talk through the foundational beliefs of Christianity from an Episcopal perspective. We will explore topics such as the Bible, the Creed, the Book of Common Prayer, Baptism, Confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist, examining how these beliefs are applied in real life within our community. This class is a chance for you to ask your questions, get to know some of the leadership here, and make new friends. On November 2, you will also have the chance to meet one of our bishops, a leader within The Episcopal Church, with the invitation to officially join our church family in a special Confirmation service.

Family life is messy. And wonderful! And while parenting as Christians means that we get to raise our children with God, that can feel complicated, exhausting, or intimidating. As we continue to figure out how to be Christians ourselves, we are also figuring out how to raise our children as Christians. Join with other parents to talk through life as Christian parents and faith formation in the home, with contributions from clergy and staff facilitators. If you are interested in joining a group, please contact Dr. Kira Moolman Pettit or the Rev. Libby Garfield.
