Becoming Modern: Summer and September 2023

The Summer & September session of the Sunday Morning Forum is called Becoming Modern.  This series provides an introduction to church history that traces some of the major movements that have shaped our modern Episcopal Church, while paying attention to developments related to colonialism and non-dominant cultures.  In each session, you will hear a game-changing story from church history, and then the facilitator will guide a discussion about how we got there and what it meant for the future church.  Handouts will be linked below following each session, as a variety of resources will be in play.  Drop in or join us continuously at 9:15-10:10 on Sunday mornings in Founders Hall and online.
