The Shattered Lantern: Rediscovering a Felt Presence of God
by Ronald Rolheiser
The image of light and lanterns has been central to Judeo-Christian theology - the Psalmist tells us that God's Word is a light to our path, Isaiah proclaims that God's servant will be a light to all nations, and Jesus commends those who keep their lamps lit where they can bring light to all who come in.
Ron Rolheiser, OMI, writes that our contemporary culture struggles in new ways because "we live and move and breathe in a culture that no longer gives us the tools to create these icons [of faith]." Whereas in previous centuries faith in God was central to society, today almost one-third of people identify as "none" when asked about their religious faith.
Please join us for a study of Fr. Rolheiser's book, The Shattered Lantern: Rediscovering a Felt Presence of God. Fr. Rohlheiser explores the various causes of our contemporary cultural malaise as well as methods for re-orienting our personal and spiritual lives. The book is available online at various book sellers.
We will meet on Thursdays from October 11 - November 15 at two different times, 1-2:30pm and 7:15-8:45pm. Please contact Anna Wallich at awallich@saintlukemclean.org or 603-714-5625 to register for EITHER the afternoon OR the evening group - there is no cost for this class but the room space is limited.
Anna Wallich is a member of the Saint Luke Parish community who has studied theology at the Yale Divinity School and Boston College School of Theology and Ministry. She enjoys leading Bible studies as well as faith groups and is looking forward to beginning with this group!
Due to the format and location of this group, space is limited.
Please contact Anna Wallich if you have any questions at awallich@saintlukemclean.org.
