Join the Communities for Spiritual Vitality for a retreat led by Brothers Keith and Luke of the Society of Saint John the Evangelist. The first disciples asked this of Jesus, and countless disciples have asked it in each generation since. This weekend will introduce several practices of prayer and discuss how they can be taught to others. We’ll explore such themes as the relationship between Word and silence, repetition and imagination, movement and stillness, and solitude and community. The retreat will be held in a rhythm of solitude, fellowship, and practice.

The retreat is open to any layperson in a parish without a dedicated full-time priest. Those who identify as lay leaders or members of underrepresented communities are especially encouraged to join us. Register here by October 1; space is available on a first-come basis. Financial support is available if needed. Reach out to Hannah Cooper at communities@diovermont.org for more information about the retreat or scholarships.

Award-winning American composer Delvyn Case conducts the Deus Ex Musica Ensemble in a live performance of his dramatic new solo cantata based on Genesis 22. Daring to imagine an alternative ending to this infamous story, this 25-minute piece explores the complex theological, narrative, and interpretive challenges of this infamous Biblical passage. The performance will be followed by an interfaith panel of scholars and clergy.
