An Invitation to Christian Spirituality

Presented by: Dan Miller, Ph.D.
The Human and The Holy (H&H) is a gathering of people who are committed to exploring and cultivating the mystical and prophetic dimensions of faith and pursuing together the deeper meanings of Jesus’ invitation to abundant life. Participants agree to come one Sunday afternoon a month, beginning in October and ending in May.
H&H has two primary goals: first, to encourage adult seekers and practitioners of faith to move beyond the basics of religion and to go deeper in their understanding and lived experience of Christian spirituality; second, to create a community of learning and mutual care united by the common desire to listen and respond more fully to the presence of God in their lives and the world today. The day concludes with the option of staying for dinner at 5:45p.m. People of all faiths are welcome.
This year (2010-2011) our title is “POETRY FOR THE SACRED JOURNEY.” As always, we will explore the essential themes of the sacred journey, this time using poetry as a resource to grow in our understanding of what it means to become human and holy. Each gathering will include our four characteristic movements: time for silent reflection and prayer, dialogue, content, and ritual action. The overarching context for H&H will continue to be the relationship between and the practice of the contemplative and active dimensions of faith.

ENCOUNTERING JESUS DURING LENT: Holy Scriptures for a Holy Season
Saturday, Mar.5, 2011, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Presented by: Felix Just, SJ, Ph.D.
To help us “encounter” Jesus more closely, we will look in depth at the scriptures used on Sundays of Lent in 2011 (Year “A” of the Lectionary for Mass), especially the stories from John’s Gospel in which Jesus encounters the Samaritan Woman, a Man Born Blind, and the Sisters of Lazarus.

An Invitation to Christian Spirituality
Third Sunday of the month, Mar.20, 2011, Apr. 17, May 15.1:30 – 5:30 p.m.
Presented by: Dan Miller, Ph.D.
The Human and The Holy (H&H) is a gathering of people who are committed to exploring and cultivating the mystical and prophetic dimensions of faith and pursuing together the deeper meanings of Jesus’ invitation to abundant life. Participants agree to come one Sunday afternoon a month, beginning in October and ending in May.
H&H has two primary goals: first, to encourage adult seekers and practitioners of faith to move beyond the basics of religion and to go deeper in their understanding and lived experience of Christian spirituality; second, to create a community of learning and mutual care united by the common desire to listen and respond more fully to the presence of God in their lives and the world today. The day concludes with the option of staying for dinner at 5:45p.m. People of all faiths are welcome.
This year (2010-2011) our title is “POETRY FOR THE SACRED JOURNEY.” As always, we will explore the essential themes of the sacred journey, this time using poetry as a resource to grow in our understanding of what it means to become human and holy. Each gathering will include our four characteristic movements: time for silent reflection and prayer, dialogue, content, and ritual action. The overarching context for H&H will continue to be the relationship between and the practice of the contemplative and active dimensions of faith.
