‘Practicing the Way: The Sabbath Practice’ offered by Part-Time Pastor; Full-Time Church

The Church of the Brethren’s Part-Time Pastor; Full-Time Church program will be sponsoring “Practicing the Way: The Sabbath Practice” for all multi-vocational pastors this Spring. Over four Monday sessions, the group will spend time learning about the practice of Sabbath, practicing the practice (in between sessions), reflecting on the practice, and processing the practice together.

Wendell Berry and the Sabbath imagination

Life, death, awe in the face of creation, alarm at the sins of humanity, anger, despair, lament, complaint, faith, hope, and love standing side by side–these are not only the qualities of the Psalms, but they are also found in the profound poetry of 86-year-old novelist, environmentalist, farmer, and poet Wendell Berry. Last fall, Joelle Hathaway, the new assistant professor of Theological Studies at Bethany Theological Seminary, taught a course about Berry’s Sabbath poetry, which plumbs the heights and depths of human experience.
