St MICHAEL’S AUTUMN LECTURES
We have been asked to publicise the following lecture series to be held at St Michael & All Angels Church, Abban Street, Inverness. IV3 8HH
SEARCHING FOR SUNDAY:
Explorations of Christian Faith and Doubt for Today’s World
Dr Brian Marshall
A series of four talks and discussions based around Rachel Held Evans’ book Searching for Sunday: loving, leaving and finding the Church plus other material. The chapters of the book are named according to the sacraments of the Church, hence the titles of the talks. The late Rachel Held Evans has written a refreshingly open and honest account of why she and her husband have had periods of absence from the church, and yet have also been drawn back by the power of the sacraments and Christian community at their best.
Wed 23rd October
Baptism and Confession
Wed 30th October
Holy Orders and Communion
Wed 6th November
Confirmation and Anointing the Sick
Wed 13th November
Marriage, the Body of Christ, and the Kingdom
All 8.00pm in St Michael’s Church
Abban Street, Inverness
Before retiring to the Highlands, Dr Marshall spent 30 plus years teaching Christian Theology in Leeds and Oxford. The talks are intended for a wide audience; anyone with an interest in the reasons for being part of the church.
