Christianity after Religion: The End of Church and the Birth of a New Spiritual Awakening
This spring St. Richard's will offer a study and discussion group based on "Christianity after Religion", the most recent book by Diana Butler Bass. Join us starting Tuesday May 22 and the following three Mondays from May 28 to June 11 at 7:30 pm at St. Richard's to explore a new vision for Christianity and the church. Reading chapters of the book in advance is recommended; if you would like a copy, please inform Wendy Birkinshaw Malo (wbirkinshaw@rogers.com or 613-260-0631) or Eric Driscoll (eric.driscoll@hotmail.com or 613-823-4529) by April 29, so they can order them in advance. See you there!
