The St. James Speaker Series is pleased to host a very special upcoming four-part evening series on the writings and work of theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Led by Bonhoeffer scholar, Dr. Wayne Floyd (husband of The Rev. Dr. Nancy Jose), we invite you to join us on Tuesdays, through May 7th for Bonhoeffer In a Time of Responsibility, a present-day deep dive into the wisdom of one of Christian history’s most important figures.
The final installment of the series meets May 7 and will be held in the Great Hall from 6:00-7:00 pm. Join us for hors d’oeuvres and an open group discussion/overview of the prior presentations; how Bonhoeffer’s teachings share parallels with our current culture and “time of responsibility” as fellow Christians. Please note, there is no dinner or Zoom on May 7th.
We invite you to share in this unique opportunity to hear and learn about Dietrich Bonhoeffer from one of the theologian’s foremost authorities.
