All Things Episcopalian
What happens when Episcopalians do something more than twice? It becomes a tradition! —to talk about questions, learn more about our faith and traditions and enjoy each other’s company. So grab a cup of coffee and head for the Chapel to join Mary Ann Alexeeff and some good Episcopalians for good talk in good company.

Speaking of Faith: Why Religion Matters—and How to Talk About It
Where:Tuesday nights at 7:15, at the home of Sharon Martin: 566 Robin Drive, Santa Clara. Please RSVP at (408) 243-1504
Each week this fall, we will read chapters of Krista Tippett’s book, Speaking of Faith, and listen to and discuss podcasts from her Peabody Award-winning radio program, ON BEING, an on-going conversation about religion, spirituality, and the meaning of life:
  • What does it mean to be human?
  • What matters in a life?
  • What matters in a death?
  • How to love?
  • How to be of service to each other the world?
Speaking of Faith inspires conversation, and problem-solving within religious belief and non- belief, and has contributed to the acknowledgement that there are questions of meaning that pertain to the human experience.
Sharon has the books for purchase ($10).
Everyone is welcome!
Wednesdays
Quest: A Journey with and for the Spirit
7:30 pm
In every culture and every time, people have explored ways to seek the Spirit in their lives. Quest is an offering of one way to do this. A quest is defined as a journey of seeking. In this workshop, a process of listening, sharing and discussion encourages us to become more aware of our own Spirit journeys. This is an opportunity to look at oneself, understand how the Spirit has shaped one, to listen to others’ journey stories and to begin to see one’ s gifts from the Spirit and possible ways to use these in one’s life. A person’s journey with Spirit is very personal and is usually held in one’s heart. By seeing our own journey, we are able to better understand our own gifts and how the manifestation of these gifts in our life is the Christ active in us.
Please let us know if you have questions or would like to participate on Wednesdays in January and February, beginning January 11.
