The Color of Compromise Book and Video Study
The Diocese of North Carolina is offering a video and book study of The Color of Compromise: The Truth about the American Church's Complicity in Racism by Jemar Tisby on Monday, March 7, 14, 21 and 28 and April 4 and 11, 12-1 p.m. During the weekly meeting via Zoom, participants will watch the video series together and engage in conversation. The Color of Compromise is a timely study of how people of faith have historically—up to the present day—worked against racial justice. It is also a call for urgent action by all Christians today in response. The Color of Compromise is both enlightening and compelling, telling history we either ignore or just don't know. Equal parts insightful and inspirational, it details how the American church has helped create and maintain racist ideas and practices. We will be guided in thinking through concrete solutions for improved race relations and a racially inclusive church. There is no cost to attend this event, but registration is required. Register.

Tuesday evenings: Sept. 28–Nov. 9, 6:30 - 8 p.m.
Friday mornings: Oct.1–Nov. 12, 9:30 - 11 a.m.
From beginning to end, the Bible is a love story. Maybe your head knows that God is always good, but in these troubling times, your heart’s not so sure. Thankfully, in this 7-session Bible study by Lisa Harper, we will learn how our Creator Redeemer’s unconditional love is woven throughout Scripture. Join us as we dive in and discover at a deeper level than you are — and always have been — the object of His affection.

New Education for Ministry Class Forming
Education for Ministry (EfM) is a unique four- year program in theological education based upon small – group study and practice. Since its founding in 1975 at Sewanee, this international program has assisted more than 100,000 participants in discovering and nurturing their call to Christian service.
In September, St. Michael’s will form a new four-year class. Won’t you join us? EfM meets weekly on Monday morning from 9:30 a.m.– 11:30 a.m. in the Convocation room from mid-September until the end of May.
EfM helps the faithful encounter the depth and breadth of the Christian tradition and brings students into conversation with their experiences of the world as they study, worship and engage in theological reflection together. Registration for the fall begins later this month.
If you are interested in joining us, or for more information, please contact Phil Lambe or Chris Laco.
