Prodigal Son Lecture Series

We seem to live in a time of division, of diminishing resources and narrowing paths ahead. Can the Church move beyond the supposed alternatives of the present? Can we see differently, so that we may live differently? Christ’s parables seek to refigure both, our seeing and our living. These meditations take the Prodigal Son as a parable of our time.

Professor Sean Hayden (who you might recognize from last year’s Summer Lecture Series!) will lead us in a four-week study of “A Prodigal Age: Four Meditations on the Church in Our Time.” All lectures will take place at 4 pm in Parish Hall.
