The Divine Feminine
Heather Christian, whose production “Terce: A Practical Breviary” won widespread acclaim earlier this year, speaks about the divine feminine and its influence on her work.
Each week, guest speakers from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines join the Reverend Peter Thompson and other St. Bart's clergy for deep and insightful conversations about topics that matter to our lives as responsible citizens and people of faith. Speakers in recent years have included winners of the Tony Award, the Emmy Award, the MacArthur Fellowship, and the Pulitzer Prize, professors from prominent universities like Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia, and journalists from New York, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic.
The Forum will not meet on Sunday, December 29. Instead, please join Peter, Zack, and Meredith for an informal conversation about the year that is past and the year that is coming. An in-person only conversation will be held at 10 am in the Great Hall, and then a Zoom conversation will be held at 1 pm. Registration for the Zoom conversation is available here: https://stbartsnyc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/152/responses/new.
