Sacred Signs: Pointing the Way to Heaven
Many Christians tend to think of the spiritual life as something entirely opposed to physical reality. This can translate into Christian practice today in the form of plain churches and simple services, especially among Protestant denominations.
In contrast, apostolic Christianity is incarnational and sacramental, incorporating many physical things into worship: not just in the art and music accompanying the liturgy, but in the very liturgy itself we make use of fire and water, bread and oil, gestures and postures. Are these merely relics of a more religious era, or does the Church recognize there is something fundamental to our human nature that needs such signs and symbols?
This Tuesday, Fr. David Anderson will explore the meaning of the “stuff” of our Christian practice in order to restore a sacramental vision in our secular age.
SACRED SIGNS: Pointing the Way to Heaven
Tuesday, July 12
8:00 pm ET / Pre-class discussion 30 minutes prior
