“O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who take refuge in the Holy One.”

Gestures, silence, movement, sight, sound, space and taste are among the things through which we connect in our liturgies.  Verbal and non-verbal are essential to our experience of the Sacred.  Our awareness and our bodily participation provide the vechicle through which we connect to the Holy. 

For five Thursday evenings we will explore the tangible and the aesthetic, the mystical and incarnate (what happens in and because of our bodies) realities of liturgy and how it is our ‘selves, our souls and bodies’ participate in a community’s encounter with God.

The presenter on March 18 will be Canon Brian Cole, who will lead a discussion on silence in liturgy. Simple Supper at 6 pm ($3.00), Program: 7 p.m. Open for all persons in Western North Carolina.

• Dates:  February 25, March 4, 11, 18, 25.
