Soup Supper and Book Study - Risking Hope: Entering the Passion of Jesus
In the last week of Jesus’ ministry, everything is at stake: his reputation, his friends, and even his life. In this study, we will look at the events of “Holy Week” as recounted in the gospels, explore questions of history and meaning, and reflect on what it means to follow Jesus on this risky path. Our primary resource will be Entering the Passion of Jesus, by Jewish scholar Amy-Jill Levine.

Lectio Divina/Epiphany Study
Lectio Divina is an ancient meditative and prayerful reading of scripture that seeks to rest in the divine presence, in order to hear and be touched within by the word of God. Developed in the third century, it became part of Monastic practice, and was recovered with the renewal of meditative practices in the 2oth century.
In these four sessions, we will ponder four traditional Epiphany texts which tell of the “revelation” of the Divine in Jesus of Nazareth. We will also experiment with Visio Divina, a form of that uses visual images for meditation and contemplation.
The Chair of Christian Thought Bentall Lecture in Education and Theology
To celebrate the United Nations’ World Interfaith Harmony Week, the Calgary Interfaith Council and the Chair of Christian Thought (University of Calgary) are hosting a panel discussion to spark dialogue regarding the teaching of diverse religious traditions. The panel will feature distinguished University of Calgary faculty members: Professors Wendi Adamek, George Ferzoco, Joy Palacios, Elizabeth Rohlman, and Tinu Ruparell. Each will bring their unique expertise to discuss how their specialisms approach religion in historical, methodological, and contemporary contexts. The discussion will also include student perspectives from Adam Bedford, a PhD candidate, and Chris Schmitz, an undergraduate student in Religious Studies.
