    The Forum Sunday, February 17, 2019, at 6:15 p.m., in Clingman Commons Not too long ago, people used to ask, “What is the meaning of life?” Hardly anyone asks this question anymore out loud, but many of us still wonder in our heart of hearts what it is all about.

    Fleming Rutledge: Why Being ‘Spiritual’ Is Never Enough

    June 2, 2018| Posted By Charles Gaston

    Americans increasingly identify as “spiritual but not religious.” Radical faith goes beyond both. by Fleming Rutledge in Christianity Today | May 2018 We hear a good deal today about “the triumph of the human spirit.” Books and movies about disasters are frequently marketed as triumphs of the human spirit, even though they often portray examples […]

    Jesus Showed Up in My Anatomy Lab

    May 28, 2018| Posted By Charles Gaston

    What dissecting bodies taught me about the passion story and life after death. Kathleen G. Tallman| Christianity Today, April 20, 2018 I sigh and look at the remains on the table in front of me: a pile of bones, muscles, ligaments, and organs. They are signs of dissecting, learning, and integrating knowledge. At the end […]

    What Are the Talents?

    February 2, 2018| Posted By Charles Gaston

    A Word from Deborah Leighton in the February 4 Adventurer Recently, I have been pondering two separate but related passages from Scripture as I discern God’s will for this particular season of my life. In the parable of the talents (Matthew 25), the master clearly represents God, and we are likened to the servants. But what […]

    The Idolatry of Worry

    January 23, 2018| Posted By Charles Gaston

    A Word from Canon Smalley in the January 28, 2018 Adventurer I’m afraid to admit how much I worry, what I worry about, and the control it exerts on my life. I also have the feeling that I’m not alone in this. Jesus addresses our fears, anxieties, and concerns with some regularity. Part of it […]

    Dean’s Bulletin Board 1.20.2018: Ashley Null

    January 20, 2018| Posted By Charles Gaston

    Ashley Null is always worth reading, but most especially now where our denomination has no sense of where it came from nor the consequences of where we are now, or where we are heading. We need to be reminded, but moreover, take hold of our gospel inheritance.  – Andrew https://livingchurch.org/2018/01/19/right-desire-and-true-gospel/

    I Feel Homesick

    January 8, 2018| Posted By Charles Gaston

    A Word from Canon Hicks in the January 14, 2018 Adventurer I heard on a podcast recently an interview with author Will Dowd, who recounted the physical hardship he fell into beginning in his teen years. From as early as he could remember, Dowd loved reading. He said, “You know how humans are described as water-based […]

    Cathedral Church of the Advent

    Advent is a gospel-centered church, with a “living, daring confidence in God’s grace” evident in any of our programs and ministries. Holding to what the Letter of Jude calls “the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints”, this gospel focus finds the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus ever and only at the center.
