SUMMARY:Second Sunday Book Group
DESCRIPTION:In November\, the Second Sunday Book Group is discussing The Gospel Engine (2025) by Samuel Thawley. Thawley’s novel is about a woman who\, after a decade at Google’s AI lab\, leaves her job to do a doctorate in theology using her AI expertise to discover the process by which Gospel texts emerged and what alternative texts or wording may have been circulating at that time. She wants to know what may have been lost or suppressed and how this might challenge existing Christian theology. She knows her work will be controversial but doesn’t anticipate the size or reach of the public storm that emerges. She wrestles with what can be known and whether her work reveals truth or tempts heresy. Her father is a cathedral dean in the Anglican Church; she is steeped in the history and philosophy of the church. This is a novel that takes both theology and technology seriously.

SUMMARY:On Spiritual Darkness
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by sociologist and author Susan Pitchford \n \nIt’s easy to rejoice when we feel God’s presence: a moving service\, a beautiful vista\, an answered prayer. But when God feels absent\, it’s another story. We can easily assume that we’ve failed God somehow\, that God is disappointed in us or even angry. Yet the witness of Teresa of Calcutta\, John of the Cross\, and countless other saints tells us that the spiritual journey leads through dark places at times. Far from being a sign of failure\, spiritual darkness can be a hopeful sign that we are growing closer to God and more deeply connected to our neighbors. \nPart of the Wisdom School 2026-27 season \nProgram is free; optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($8/adult; $25/family max.)  \n  \n  \nSusan Pitchford retired after thirty years of teaching sociology at the UW. A writer\, speaker\, retreat leader\, and spiritual director\, she is the author of The Sacred Gaze\, God in the Dark\, Following Francis\, and The Paradox of Poverty\, as well as a regular contributor to Give Us This Day\, a monthly prayer resource. Susan is also a professed Franciscan in the Third Order\, Society of St. Francis (TSSF)\, and the Guardian for Lifelong Faith Formation for TSSF’s Province of the Americas. She also serves as a spiritual director for Saint Mark’s Center for Spirituality and Action.
