Cathedral Nite Classes

A History of Christianity:  The First Three Thousand Years
Led by the Dean
Who are we as a body of Christians?  Where have we come from?  How has Christianity manifested itself in cultures quite different from ours?  And what might the future of Christianity look lie, even in our own lifetime?  We shall examine all these questions and more as the Dean leads us in a reading of Diarmaid MacCulloch’s award-winning history of Christianity and in watching the series of programs that accompany the book. You will need your own copy of MacCulloch’s History of Christianity, which is now in paperback and easily available.

Praying in the Anglican Tradition
Led by the Reverend Blake Sawicky, Curate
A "Tasters Menu" of Anglican treasures, this course is designed to give participants a broad exposure to the history, theology, and arts of the spiritual Anglican tradition. Our chief focus will be on prayer and spirituality, and our topics will vary widely, from the prayers of Thomas Cranmer to sermons of Rowan Williams, from Shakespeare to 19th century movements of exploration and mission, and from the music of Tallis and Byrd to the architecture of Saint John's Cathedral.

The Gospel of John 
Led by Canon Drew Van Culin
The Gospel of John is considered one of the riches texts in the Bible, yet it remains one of the most difficult to understand. Join Father Drew to explore the eloquence of this exquisite gospel and the depth of theology that the Evangelist provides. No previous knowledge is required; just bring an open mind and heart - and your Bible!

Centering Prayer
Led by Bob Albrecht and Julie Saad of Contemplative Outreach of Colorado. Margaret Johnson will participate in some of the sessions.
Is God calling you to a deeper relationship?  Centering Prayer is a method of prayer, which prepares us to receive the gift of God's presence, traditionally called contemplative prayer.  It is sometimes referred to as "the prayer of the heart" or "resting in God."  This eight week class will introduce you to the method of centering prayer and its conceptual background, which draws from ancient prayer practices of the Christian contemplative heritage, notably the Desert Fathers and Mothers, Lectio Divina (praying with scriptures), The Cloud of Unknowing, and the writings of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila.  The class starts with the introductory session in Dagwell Hall on February 29, 2012, and will go through April 18. Thomas Keating's book Open Mind, Open Heart will be available for purchase.
