Trinity College one-week Summer Intensive
The Love of Learning and the Desire for God
How can the Rule of Benedict (the 6th-century inspiration for the 16th-century Book of Common Prayer) be a guidebook for parish and community life in a time when so many of our churches are in serious decline, where parishes are being closed or combined? How can Benedictine-Anglican spirituality help strengthen parish life as centres of prayer, learning, community and service? How can parish churches welcome seekers who have a deep and mostly unarticulated desire for God but are not able to connect their longing with what they normally see in the parish church? The course will seek answers to theses questions and engage students, both clergy and lay, in an imaginative design for a parish project.
