Study is like a gift which God gives us
to direct us to
greater spirituality. With study, the
soul is warmed.
~Fr. Paisios the Athonite
(1924-1994)
CLASSES
Anything you
wish to pursue in greater
depth may be grist for a class taught or moderated by the rector.
There is seldom a time when three or four classes are not running
simultaneously
at St. Paul's. With the exception of Education for Ministry
(EFM),
which is run through the University of the South, classes are
free.
They are announced in the service leaflet or in mailbox flyers.
Particularly
recommended is the two year Adult Theology class, which surveys not
only Anglicanism, but all of Christianity.
The rector runs
other classes in response
to demand. If you have an interest, speak to him at coffee hour
or
drop a note in his mailbox.
Spiritual
development classes are
a special strong point at St. Paul's. Presentations are thorough,
and ensuing discussions always enlightening.
Discussion sessons
are also a great chance
to play Stump the Rector.
Good luck.
