Honoring insights both old and new, our in-person seminar explores thought-provoking writings reflecting Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and other contexts. Whether you consider yourself a believer, a spiritual seeker, or just a confused mortal, your sincere interest and participation will be welcomed.
