Pre Annual Meeting Retreat

Learning to Look Through Different Lenses:
Understanding Diverse Faith Perspectives

Retreat Leader:
The Rev. Dr. Susan Davies ,
Bangor Theological Seminary,
Dean of Students and External Relations

Date: September 23 beginning at 1:00 p.m.
Ends September 24 following lunch

Place: Ballroom South, Grand Summit Hotel, Sunday River, Bethel, Maine

Cost: $50.00 (which includes 3 meals and program)

The materials from W. Paul Jones’ Theological Worlds and Worlds Within a Congregation give us tools to uncover the theological worlds in which we already live. They are useful tools for helping individuals unearth the ’basic heart narratives’ of our spiritual journeys, and give us language for comprehending why certain forms of church life appeal to some people and not to others. I look forward to the chance to explore these ‘theological worlds’ with participants in the Pre Annual Meeting Retreat.
