Worship Opportunities

 

Monday Vespers

The Lutheran and Episcopal students lead sung Vespers every Monday evening at 4:30 in the Henri Nowen prayer chapel in the basement of the library.  You are invited to join us.  The service lasts about half an hour.  To get to the prayer chapel, take the elevator downstairs and follow the signs.   It is a lovely way to end the day.

 

        Thursday Night Compline

We will continue to keep the office of Compline on Thursday nights at 9:00 p.m. in the Henri Nouwen Prayer Chapel on the ground floor of the library. In the season of Lent we will follow the Lutheran Book of Worship.  The service lasts approximately twenty minutes, but we often linger in fellowship and talk of our common life.  All are welcome!
Come, magnify the Lord with us!

                                                    Friday Matins and None Hour
All are welcome to join the Catholic prayer group on Fridays at 4:00 p.m. in the Henri Nouwen Prayer Chapel on the ground floor of the library. The breviary for our group is "The Liturgy of the Hours According to the Roman Rite”, which consists of 4-volumes to cover the entire liturgical year.  We meet for about half an hour or so for the Office of Readings (Matins) and the Afternoon Hour (None), and then often head over to Friday Fellowship afterwards.  Please join us for hymns, prayers, psalms, other biblical passages, and holy writings from our Christian forbears as we proceed on our Lenten journey together.

THE REFORMATION AND THE EARLY SOCIAL SCIENCES: MARX, DURKHEIM, WEBER AND FREUD BY H.C. Erik Midelfort, C. Julian Bishko Professor  of  History and Religious Studies at University of Virginia THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 2004 at 7:30 PM in Marquand Chapel. "Several of the seminal thinkers who created the social sciences in Europe had distinctive visions of the Protestant Reformation that affected their views of history and society.  By looking at the work of

Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, and Sigmund Freud we can gain some perspective on the origins of the social sciences and on historical assumptions that are still commonplace today."

    Apr 4, ISM Great Hall, 4pm

The advanced students of Richard Rephann will present a recital of Baroque harpsichord music. Richard Rephann is a specialist in French music of the Baroque whose annual recitals of seventeenth and eighteenth century music performed on restored instruments of the period are widely acclaimed.

Liturgy Symposium:
Siobhán Garrigan, Assistant Professor of Liturgical Studies, Yale Institute of Sacred Music and Yale Divinity School
   April 5, ISM Great Hall, 4:30pm 
      The Memory of God
What does it mean to remember God, or God's saving acts? What does it mean to claim that God remembers us? Using fieldwork studies of various congregations' worship, Professor Garrigan will examine the theological claim that God has a memory. She will explore the relationship between this idea of God's character and the ways in which Christian worship, in its prayers, songs, symbols, and even space arrangements, is itself a process of remembrancing.

Wanted Dog Sitter

Wanted: responsible, reliable, dog-loving person or couple to house & dog sit during 2004-2005 school year.  Experience not necessary -- caring deeply about dogs is.  We live less than a mile from the Divinity School, in Hamden, in a large, comfortable house with two dogs: an 8 year old Brittany and a 2 year old Cavalier King Charles spaniel.  We hope to travel for about 3 weeks this coming fall, and for 6 weeks from mid-January to end Feb, 2005 -- followed by a couple of weeks home -- then another week or so in March. We have a small fenced-in dog run behind the house, but in addition to letting dogs in and out, we'd like someone to walk them several times a day -- at least one longish one if the weather's good.  We prefer to hire students because they have more time to spend at home with the dogs, who aren't used to being left alone for long stretches of time. If you are interested, please call Barbara or Rob at 203-773-0799.  (If no
response within a short time, you can try me at our country house in New
York: 518-325-4777.)

 

Learning Experience with Pay!  

Apply to be a Resource Assistant at the Ministry Resource Center.  While working with resources and the real questions of students and leaders of all kinds of congregations you will learn about the varieties of leaders, congregations and what is produced to resource them.  It will upgrade your resume to know all of this.  Ask for an application for Academic year 2004-2005 employment by coming to the Ministry Resource Center by contacting Carolyn Hardin Engelhardt, Director at 203-432-5319

 

 

 

 

Church Profile and Job Description

In the center of East Barnard village there is a small church, that has served the surrounding area for over 150 years.  It is historically a non-denominational church community.  In the beginning, different groups, Methodist, Baptists, Universalists, would use the church on a specified week each month, sharing in the upkeep of the building.  Today, we come together to worship during the months of June, July, August and again at Christmas Eve.   We are looking for a minister, who may be active, retired or a seminary student, who would be responsible for worship services each week.  As our children are an important part of our community, we would expect each service to include a children’s sermon.  Other duties would include some sort of adult education or regular fellowship.  In the past this has been in the form of a book discussion or theme-based potluck suppers.  Two or three meetings over the course of the summer would be sufficient.  Visiting of church members who are sick, elderly or in need of support would be expected as well.  The community could foresee the candidate having time for study or research, or possibly having a part-time job in the area.         

Compensation for the three months is $2,500.  Help with obtaining housing would be available, and we would hope that the minister or intern would want to live in or close to our community.
