• Recorded sessions and handouts, click here
Bill Tully will again bring his teaching skills, and his open mind and open heart, to what he loves best—giving people a chance to find God and find community.
The class will be offered in duplicate at 12:30 pm Sundays and 6:30 pm Wednesdays, a flexible formula that worked so well last year. Choose your day week by week. You can also subscribe to the audio by podcast (check back for links after the first class).
A “strong center” picks up on the core meaning of Confirmation, a sacramental rite that literally means “with strength.” In a profoundly changing world, each of us needs to connect or re-connect, with strength, to faith and practice. The Christian tradition of Good News, and our rich Anglican heritage of custom and attitude of mind and heart.
