Scroll down for information about our current expedition. It's not too late to join! Whether you consider yourself a believer, a spiritual seeker, or none of the above, your sincere interest and participation will be welcomed.
In the meantime, you can see where prior expeditions have taken us.
The Theological Expeditions seminar is led by Jim Alexander, Trinity Cathedral's theologian-in-residence. Please contact Jim with any questions.
When: Sundays, noon to 1pm
Where: Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 81 N. Second Street, San Jose, CA. We meet in person in the Sunday School Room, which is just off the Great Hall. (Directions, parking, and public transportation info.) No online option, sorry.
Required reading: Aflame: Learning from Silence by Pico Iyer (Riverhead Books 2025). In this timely new book, a bestselling author reflects on the power of silence and contemplation amid personal losses caused by California wildfires. He draws on his experiences from over three decades of retreats with monks and mystics at a Benedictine hermitage in the mountains of Big Sur. The book is available at Amazon and your favorite bookseller. As always, let Jim know if you run into a problem obtaining a copy of the book.
