Special Pull-Out Section
One Body, Many Members: The Life of Faith
o be a Christian is a life-long engagement with the Gospel. We are never fully formed, and our hope is that wherever you find yourself in your journey, there will be a place for you to grow at St. Mark’s. Our theme Tthis year reflects our commitment to honor the unity that we are assured of through our baptism while acknowledging the particularity of each journey. Adult formation, at its best, is an embodied practice that extends far beyond the Christian Education time on Sunday morning. Our classes promise to be thoughtful, thought provoking, and relevant to the daily life you seek to live in an increasingly secular culture.
Join us!

Adult Formation SUNDAY MORNINGS 10:10-11:00 A.M. The Life of Faith: Embodying Christian Practice in Our Daily Lives The Rev. Elizabeth Knowlton Gish Hall
What is the relationship between what we believe, how we act, and what we do to support our ongoing life of Christian conversion and transformation? This course will look at major theological themes and concepts and then look towards practical implications for daily life. We will look at contemporary examples from film and the arts to structure our conversations.
Part I: Exploring Basic Theological Concepts
September 7th: The Reality of God: Do We Even Know What We Are Talking About? Basic theological language is often tossed around with little thought given to precise meanings. We will introduce a basic model of Christian living. We will also go over some basic vocabulary such as our creedal understanding of what it means to base our Christian life on an understanding of God as Creator, Judge, Savior, and Sanctifier. How do we proclaim a life based on that which is ultimately unknowable? Why is it important to retain these theological groundings in our daily practices?
September 14th: The Human Project: How Do We Go About the Process of Becoming a Person? Having spent some time clarifying what we understand to be the nature of God, we now turn to a discussion of the human role in this drama. How do concepts of our individual freedom contribute to the life of faith? How do limitations actually enhance our ability to act more freely? How do physical, psychological, and social dimensions of our lives transform our interpretations of what gives meaning and purpose to our Christian life?
September 21st: Revelation: How Do We Encounter God When We Engage the World? How do our experiences further deepen our understanding of the nature of God and our response to God? Today we ask how our natural need to make meaning as humans actually functions as a vehicle for God’s revelation. How do we remain open to revelation when our habits or assumptions are being challenged? How does our community of faith function as an important mediator for our individual experiences of God?
September 28th: The Basic Drama: How Do We Experience Idolatry, Sin, Grace, and Faith? The path to Christian maturity is dynamic and lifelong. We do not “arrive” and in fact if we feel we have, that may be our best indication that we have gotten stuck. How do our experiences of idolatry and sin, actually open us more deeply to reliance on grace? Can we frame our awareness of sin and idolatry as a natural part of the faith journey and use it for growth?
October 5th: The Life of Faith: What Does It Mean, Exactly, to be Obedient to God? Most of us agree that a life of faith has at its heart a set of beliefs that are evident from the pattern of our actions. But this hardly means we are always on target or that our beliefs are congruent at all times with our actions. How do concepts of trust, obedience, hope, fidelity, and perseverance allow us to be more faithful in how we love? We will spend particular time looking at obedience as a form of deep listening by which our own needs are relativized with a deeper claim by that of God and others. How do we rely on the Spirit to guide us in our faith? Does prayer have a role to play? Part II: Some Practical Implications
(Continued on page 9)

(Continued from page 8)
October 12th: Possessions and Power: If We Aren’t Going to Give Them Up, Then What Should We Do With Them? One normal experience of the Christian is a tension around how to handle our possessions and power. How do we negotiate that tension? Am I expected to give away all my worldly goods? How do I live my life with integrity and still meet the many commitments I have to my family and other important relationships? How do I faithfully negotiate compromises between so many competing spheres?
November 9th: Anger and Sexuality: How Do We Make Sense of These Things in Light of the Commandment to Love Our Neighbor? Believing we should love one another and actually knowing what that means are often two very different things. Is our anger always a bad thing? Or is there a way in which we can become intentional about recognizing anger as an important indicator in our spiritual lives. Similarly, how does the vulnerability we feel in the realm of sexuality open a possibility of transformation? How can we view sexuality as a gift and its expression as part of the life of faith?
November 16th: Evil and Suffering: How Do We Hold Onto Faith When the World So Clearly Isn’t As It Should Be? To be a mature Christian is to be willing to see the world as it is, without becoming despondent in the face of evil and suffering. We may be tempted to deny its existences or minimize its relevance, but one does not need to look far into the daily news to realize that this is a question that demands a faith response. Also, how do we reconcile suffering in our own lives? Is there anything redemptive to be found in suffering? How do we combat evil in a real way that feels authentic?
November 23rd: Freedom: What Does It Mean to be Free? We often think of human freedom as only the ability to make individual choices. Freedom in a Christian sense is about being free from the enslavement of the world (including its fears and preoccupations) to be free to grow in Christ. How does grace allow us to move beyond the confines of our tendencies towards idolatry and sin and toward greater faith and openness to the spirit? How do we become increasingly attentive to the gifts of freedom and the opportunities it provides for our empowerment and our love and service to others.
Further Reading If you would be interested in reading further about the topics discussed in class the following books are recommended: 1. Faith’s Freedom: A Classic Spirituality for Contemporary Christians (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1990) by Luke Timothy Johnson. This text has been used create the structure of the class. 2. The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything: A Spirituality for Real Life (New York: Harper Collins, 2010) by James Martin, SJ. This text is a great practical resource on spirituality and to suggest ways you might integrate the course material into your prayer during the week.

Engaging the Mystery: Confirmation, Reception, and Reaffirmation The Rev. Carol Morehead Bethlehem Chapel
If you are new to St. Mark’s and the Episcopal Church you may (or may not) be aware of the pastoral rite known as Confirmation. The Episcopal Church recognizes all who are baptized with water and in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as members of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Those whose baptisms have been registered in the Episcopal Church are considered baptized members. So, that’s it then, right? Well, not necessarily. In the Episcopal tradition, once a baptized person becomes an adult the next recommended step is to have the Bishop receive that adult by laying-on of hands and anointing with oil, a rite we call Confirmation.
For those who have already been confirmed in another Christian tradition, the Episcopal Church does not require that person to be re-confirmed. Baptized persons may also be received by laying-on of hands of a Bishop rather than being confirmed, if such persons have previously made adult affirmations of faith in their own traditions. We call that Reception.
Reaffirmation of Baptismal Vows is an opportunity for any member to reexamine and recommit to the vows made at baptism. This is a wonderful chance to go deeper and examine one’s life as a disciple of Christ.
The Rt. Rev. Gary Lillibridge, Bishop of the Diocese of West Texas, will join us on Sunday, November 2, to preside over Confirmation, Reception, and Reaffirmation of Baptismal Vows during the 11:15a.m. Eucharist. Please contact The Rev. Carol Morehead to register for classes by calling the church office at 210-226-2426 or by email at [email protected].
