Canterbury at Cal

Each week the Canterbury House hosts a dinner followed by a discussion.  Currently we are looking at the gospel of Mark, it’s revolutionary tone, its contextual past and what it means for you now.  Delve into a book that is around 1940 years old!  We end our time with a sung version of night prayer based on a tradition dating back to the 6th century but words reflecting the reality of today.

Each Thursday at 6:30 there is a prayer in the tradition of Taizé each week in the canterbury house.  This form of contemplative prayer comes from the community of Taizé in Burgundy, France.  Visited each summer by tens of thousands of young adults, the monastery of Taizé explores reconciliation, simplicity of life and contemplation of God as a community experience.  Visit the website at www.taize.fr

Grad students and young adults (20’s 30’s) are invited to participate in a weekly discussion group. We will be using the monthly publication Context by Martin Marty, emeritus professor of religion at the University of Chicago. Context publishes excerpts from a wide variety of journals, periodicals and newspapers all focusing on important themes of culture and faith. Even if you miss one week you don’t have to catch up just show up. Beverages and light refreshments will be provided.
