Online Book Study with Deacon Ari Wolfe: Home By Another Way, by Barbara Taylor Brown Mondays, June 9 through July 21, 11:30 am-1:00 pm PT

In these sermons, Barbara Brown Taylor walks us through the church year from the expectancy of Advent to the fires of Pentecost and beyond. Her themes arise not only from a particular feast or fast, but out of the perennial questions of faith: doubt, grace, anger, and jubilation. These sermons are simply great stories well told.

Barbara Brown Taylor is an Episcopal priest. She holds the Harry R. Butman Chair in Religion and Philosophy at Piedmont College in northeastern Georgia and serves as adjunct professor of Christian spirituality at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur. Recognized as one of the twelve most effective preachers in the English language by Baylor University in 1995, Taylor has published numerous collections of her sermons and theological reflections.

This online book study (via Zoom) will meet weekly on Mondays from June 9 through July 21 at 11:30 PT. We will not be meeting on Monday, July 7 due to the 4th of July weekend.

Please get ahold of a copy of the book as soon as you register and read the Introduction and first chapter BEFORE our first meeting on June 9th, if at all possible.

There is a later book by the same author, titled "Home By Another Way: A Christmas Story" which is a 40-page excerpt, but NOT the full version.

Join Decon Ari Wolfe for this timely discussion. The Reverend Ari Wolfe is a deacon in the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia. She is newly installed as the deacon at Church of the Holy Spirit in Battle Ground, Washington, and holds a Master's degree in Theological Studies (MTS) from the Church Divinity School of the Pacific with a focus on Queer Theology and how Episcopal congregations can better welcome and support LGBTQ+ people of faith.
