Welcome to the St. Peter's 250 Speakers Series Blog: Faith in Action

St. Peter's Church has an exciting lineup of 50 Minutes speakers this fall to celebrate our 250th anniversary:  "Faith in Action."  This blog has been created to give everyone in the congregation an opportunity to share thoughts, questions, and feedback about the topics raised.


Over the next few months we'll be thinking about the challenges posed by the speakers, the connections between their words and our work at St. Peter's, and how we might respond in the future to their calls to action.


Everyone who attends the 50 Minutes lectures is invited to post comments here!  Each week we'll pose a few guiding questions and provide information about the speakers, and we encourage you to leave comments, questions, challenges, and feedback at any time after the talks.


Our first speaker on Sunday, 9/25, will be the Rev. Dr. Gary Dorrien; he will focus on economic globalization, the economic crisis and the opening for initiatives in economic democracy (worker ownership, infrastructure banks, et al) that exist today–all in the context of Christian social ethics and ecumenical Christianity.  His books will be on sale during 50 Minutes.

+ What was a highlight of Gary Dorrien's talk for you?

+  What was something you found challenging or something you'd like to question?

+ If we at St. Peters were to put some of his ideas into action, what would that look like?

Please share your thoughts in the comments, and we look forward to some exciting conversations this fall!
