Spiritual Formation: Reading "The Cross & The Lynching Tree" This Fall

Spiritual Formation: Reading "The Cross & The Lynching Tree" This Fall

What is the relationship between the cross that Jesus died on, and the untimely deaths of Black people in the United States? How can reflections on our own context deepen our faith in Jesus Christ – whether you are white, Black, or another racial identity?

Join us for a Fall reading series on Zoom, as we read through The Cross and the Lynching Tree, by James Cone. Each week we will pray together & discuss a chapter from the book.

Meetings: Wednesdays, 7-8pm on Zoom

October 6 – Introduction & Chapter 1

October 13 – Chapter 2

October 20 – Chapter 3

October 27 – Chapter 4

November 3 – Chapter 5

November 10 – Conclusion & Compline

RSVP: Email Rev. Heidi (hthorsen@trinitynewhaven.org) if you plan on joining. It’s okay if you can’t make every date – we hope you will join when you can.

Trinity will provide a copy of the book! We have purchased 20 copies of the book from People Get Ready Book Store, a local, Black-owned business in New Haven. Pick up a copy from Trinity on a Sunday morning, or let us know if you would like free delivery to your door. We are glad to offer this!

The cost of the book is on a sliding scale: pay nothing, or contribute up to $22 to support the purchase of this book & the participation of others in this book study.
