19th Annual Women's Creative Process Retreat

Solomon Episcopal Conference Center, 54296 Highway 445, Loranger

"Now I lay me down to sleep..." is how many of us prayed as children. "Our Father, who art in heaven..." may have been our staple in times past and might still be. We have all begged God, "Please", or prayed fervently for a loved one who is hurting. As we have grown older, married, had children or not, and been battered around by life's inevitable challenges, many of us have found that we want, or even need, some additional ways to pray. This year, with the Rev. Anne Maxwell and several presenters from the retreat staff, we will explore and practice some old and some newer ways to pray. We will experiment with art, dance, creative writing, poetry, scripture, dreams and dream images-to name a few. 

You will find a healing and sacred space to celebrate your creativity-God's creativity-
which dwells in each of us, waiting to emerge. You will laugh, may cry and hopefully
rediscover joy you might have forgotten you have. The focus is always on the process and never the product, so please don't worry if you believe you are not "creative". All of God's children are creative and are welcome!! Please come pray with us.
 

Offerings: Worship, art, individual spiritual direction, sacred dance, music, Taize, creative writing, dream work, gentle bodywork (bring comfortable clothes), and renewal.

Fees: Single Room: $403 Dbl/Triple: $325 Deposit $ 214

Task Form to Reimagine the Episcopal Church to hold a 

Churchwide Meeting

As directed in its enabling resolution C095 approved by the 77th General Convention in 2012, the Task Force to Reimagine the Episcopal Church (TREC) will convene a churchwide meeting on October 2 at 7:30 p.m. Easter / 6:30 PM Central

The purpose of the meeting is "to receive responses to the proposed recommendations to be brought forward to the 78th General Convention." 

The meeting will be webcast live from Washington National Cathedral and will be webcast live from Washington National Cathedral and will be viewed at St. James Episcopal Church in the CSF Atrium, on the third floor of the Ministries Center. The meeting is open to the entire church, and there is no fee to attend in person at the National Cathedral, or to watch the live webcast.

The planned format will be short concise presentations followed by substantive question and comment periods. Questions, concerns and comments will be taken from the live audience in addition to email and twitter. Questions can be emailed to reimaginetec@gmail.com or put on Twitter @ReimagineTEC.

TREC plans to draw from the comments, concerns and questions raised during this event to influence and fine-tune proposals currently under consideration during its final meeting immediately following the churchwide gathering on October 3 and 4.

TREC's final report to General Convention is due by November 30 for the 78th General Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah in July 2015.

There has been significant financial underwriting from Trinity Church Wall Street and generous provision of space and technical support by Washington National Cathedral and the Diocese of Washington critical to making this event possible.

St. James Episcopal Church, Baton Rouge will host the TREC Webcast for all those in the Diocese of Louisiana who would like to attend.

The Roots of Anglicanism

An Exploration of our Anglican History, Heritage and

Historic sites in England

Upon arrival in England, we will begin an historic 10-day/9 night journey to the significant sites of Anglicanism, and the roots of our own Episcopal Church, in England- London, Winchester, Canterbury, Cambridge, Durham, and York, as well as to other historical sites along the way.  We will enjoy many private tours of great cathedrals, churches and sites, experiencing different forms of worship (from Evensong, to the Eucharist, to prayer services) in these amazing places, often with special seating.  We will hear some of the great choirs of England and hear some of the grandest organs of the world played by the musicians who know them best.  Guides and guest speakers, with particular expertise in the places we visit and in church history, will guide us through this extraordinary experience.  You are invited to join us for this unique opportunity to explore our common Anglican heritage!
