Summer continuing education programs at the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest in Austin will focus on seeing the unseen and exploring hard questions with which the Episcopal Church and many other denominations are struggling.
Nora Gallagher, noted author of 'Things Seen and Unseen: A Year Lived in Faith,' will team with visual artist Marie Schoeff in presenting 'Seeing the Unseen' during morning sessions. The Rev. William Seth Adams, liturgics and Anglican studies professor at the seminary, will engage participants in a discussion of three current and difficult theological issues during the afternoon.
Writer Gallagher and painter Schoeff will lead drawing and writing exercises to explore ways to observe and honor the sacred within and around us. The focus is on the process of seeing, not on creating a product. Adams' offering, 'Hard Questions: Whatever to Say?' centers on three current issues that express themselves in liturgical terms: lay presidency at the eucharist, the blessing of same-sex unions, and the question as to who is welcome at the eucharistic table.
Registration deadline for the June 3-7 continuing education program is May 28. Detailed descriptions of the offerings are available at www.etss.edu/ConEd02.html.
