A Quiet Day at Saint Barnabas

– Saturday, October 12, 9:30am – 1pm | Sanctuary + Z_o_o_m –

“Expanding Our Images of God”

Dr. Elizabeth Ursic leads this Quiet Day

Join us for a Quiet Day during which we will reflect on the words and images we use during our prayer time. How might our contemplative life deepen if we expand the ways we address and picture God? With a background in religion and the arts, Dr. Elizabeth Ursic will guide us on a journey with nature and feminine imagery from scripture and church history.

Elizabeth Ursic holds an MDiv from Yale Divinity School and the Yale Institute of Sacred Music and a PhD in Religious Studies from ASU. She is a member of St. Barnabas, a spiritual director, and a long-time practitioner of contemplative prayer. She is also a musician, professor of world religions, and author of the book Women Ritual, and Power: Placing Female Imagery of God in Christian Worship published by SUNY Press.

The contemplative life is quite simple and accessible to everyone. It is simply the intention to pause, to be still, and, by faith, to rest in Christ’s presence within. Quiet Day includes reflections, quiet, solitary time, and sessions of communal silent prayer in the Sanctuary. Participants are welcome to the Sanctuary, to quiet areas for reading or journaling, or to walk our beautiful campus. The day concludes with the Holy Eucharist. Please bring your Bible.
