Forum Series—Rats! The Plague, The Passion, and These Days

Suns., 2/16 & 23; 11:15 a.m., Forum

Led by Morgan Allen, we will consider Albert Camus’ 1948 classic The Plague, against the backdrop of the Transfiguration and Jesus’ approaching march to Calvary.

 

Price Lectures: The Discipline of Joy

Sun., March 8, 15 and 22, Forum

Over three Sundays in March, we will explore that under-examined and even “suspect” dimension of the Christian experience: joy. Each session will be led by a guest with a unique perspective on the subject: Christian Wiman, poet and professor of Religion and Literature at the Yale Divinity School; Jonathan Reckford, CEO, Habitat for Humanity; and Brenda Cassellius, the new Superintendent of Boston Public Schools.
