"Praying Our Values" is the second in a four-part online workshop series entitled Being Church: Leading and Caring for our Communities through the 2024 Election.
We’re living in fearful, contentious times. As the uncertainty, turmoil, and violence of our national politics intensify in this election season, we may encounter increased fear, anxiety, and division in our own communities. This series of online workshops, co-hosted by EDS and St. Mark’s Church in-the-Bowery (Manhattan), asks what it looks like to be church in this significant season of our common life. Through four conversations with theologians and church leaders, we will explore how to boldly claim our Christian values and lead with those values in liturgy, preaching, and the public square.
On August 29, 2024, the Rev. Dr. Ruth Meyers, Professor of Liturgics at Church Divinity School of the Pacific, the Rev. Canon Dr. Stephanie Spellers, Canon for Evangelism and Reconciliation for the Episcopal Church, and the Rev. Lydia Bucklin, President and Dean of Episcopal Divinity School, joined in conversation about using prayer and liturgy to address the current climate of fear and division, and imagine a new future. This workshop explored creative ways to draw on our worship tradition to promote healing, justice and hope. Moderated by Nell Gibson, long-time leader and liturgical innovator in the Episcopal Church.
