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.
As Christians, how do we face our mortality while holding fast to the hope of eternal life? Can being mindful of our mortality bolster our spiritual practices—and even serve as a spiritual practice itself? Eva Ting, founder of Here to Honor, considers how to make sense of our mortality in light of our faith.
As she launches her new book, Church Tomorrow?, the Reverend Canon Stephanie Spellers speaks again to some of the “nones and dones” she interviewed.
A limited number of books will be available for sale through St. Bart's Bookstore. Questions? Contact Curry Brinson at
