Stillman Lecture
on Religion & Culture
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25 | 6:30 p.m.
This spring, we are thrilled celebrate the conclusion of our 2017-
2018 “Year with the Bible” by welcoming author, historian, and
theologian Lauren F. Winner as our Stillman Lecturer. Founded in
memory of parishioner Eugenia Stillman, this lecture series pursues
the connections between faith and culture, helping us explore what it
means to live out our faith in contemporary society.
Lauren Winner is the author of numerous books, including Mudhouse
Sabbath, Girl Meets God, and Wearing God. An Episcopal priest,
Lauren is Vicar of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Louisburg, N.C., and
Associate Professor of Christian Spirituality at Duke Divinity School.
She writes and lectures on Christian practice, the history of Christianity
in America, and Jewish-Christian relations (indeed, Lauren was raised
Jewish herself).
Please join us for this thought-provoking and faith-affirming evening;
all are welcome!
Scripture forms our imaginations
for how to live faithfully as
followers of Christ in our world.
Holy Land Pilgrimage
MAY 22 - JUNE 3, 2019
In the spring of 2019, the Rector and the Rev. Ryan Fleenor will lead a pilgrimage of St.
James’ parishioners to the Holy Land. This trip will be the fourth that the Rector has made with
parishioners, and promises to deepen the faith of those traveling, enlarge their understanding
of the issues that have roiled this land and its people for millennia, and allow them to walk in the
footsteps of Jesus’ disciples. We will spend time in Jerusalem, Galilee, Nazareth, Bethlehem,
Jericho, and more, led by our fabulous guide, Canon Iyad Qumri. Please learn more about what
to expect at stjames.org/holy-land and take seriously the invitation to make this pilgrimage!
