SUMMARY:VINCENT VAN GOGH: A Complicated Christian
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by George Matejka on ZOOM\n\nAs a Protestant Christian with a father who was a minister\, van Gogh’s life was heavily influenced by his Christian upbringing.  Many of his mature works take Gospel themes for their subjects. He painted parables (the Sower\, the Good Samaritan) and  miracles (the Raising of Lazarus). There are also several paintings which may subtly portray the  subconscious influence of Christianity on his later works. We will study van Gogh’s gospel-themed paintings as well as those that may  show a deeper influence of his Christian faith on his mature works.\n$20\nGeorge Matejka has recently retired from his position as Chair of the Philosophy and Religious Studies Department at Ursuline College. He currently serves as an adjunct professor at Ursuline as well as serving on the Ethics Committees at  Jennings Home for Older Adults.\n  \n

SUMMARY:Brother\, Sister\, and Holy Ghost: A Conversation on Disability
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Ben Bagocius\nOn Zoom\n\nGrowing up with siblings with disabilities or challenging behaviors can open difficult yet honest questions of love and despair. Drawing from Elina Hirvonen’s When I Forgot and Gina Berriault’s The Lights of Earth\, we will read a little\, write a little\, and share out whatever you feel called to in this conversation about brothers\, sisters\, and human lights of earth. There is no pre-reading required\, since this session is about letting Hirvonen’s and Berriault’s excerpts about siblings\, despair\, and love spur our imaginations and our writing.\nThe session is writing intensive\, so please come with a pen and paper and be open to\nthe adventure of following Ben’s creative juices!\n$20\nBen Bagocius\, PhD\, writes and teaches across literature\, spirituality\, and queer thought.

SUMMARY:What Makes You Come Alive: Journey with Howard Thurman
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Alan Kolp\nOn ZOOM\n\n“Don’t ask what the world needs.\nAsk what makes you come alive\, and go do it.\nBecause what the world needs is people who have come alive.”\n― Howard Thurman\nThe basic questions are “where am I going?” and\n“who will go with me?”\nJoin us for the journey.\nHoward Thurman\, 20th century spiritual giant and influencer of other giants\, offers insights on how to enrich our inner journey while creating our  outward journey with meaning and purpose. Thurman teaches us not to fear\, but to love life.\nWhen we learn to love life we have a chance to learn how to love others and our world.\n$25\nAlan Kolp\, a life-long Quaker and Benedictine Oblate\, is an active member of the International Thomas Merton Society. He is recently retired as a Professor of Religion and Chair of Faith at Baldwin Wallace University.
