SUMMARY:Wisdom School Plenary: A Spirituality of Suffering and Solidarity
DESCRIPTION:Wisdom School 2026-27 Open Plenary with The Very Rev. Steven L. Thomason \nHow are we to respond to human suffering in our time? What does solidarity with those who are suffering look like? What does compassion\, meaning ‘to suffer with\,’ really mean in a world that has erected all sorts of diversions—the economies of war\, wealth disparities\, and constant entertainment? If we are created in God’s image\, and if there is so much suffering in the world\, then God\, too\, must be suffering. How else can we understand the meaning of the cross\, of Christ crucified? In the person of Jesus\, we come to understand more fully the truth that God is always on the side of suffering\, wherever it is found—in combatants on both sides\, in victims and perpetrators\, in friends and foes\, as uncomfortable as that may make us. Is anyone beyond the pale of God’s redemptive love\, or undeserving of our love? \nProgram is free; optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($8/adult; $25/family max.)  \n

SUMMARY:Solidarity in Suffering: The Martyrs of Memphis\, Frances Perkins\, Jonathan Daniels\, and Pauli Murray
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Canon Wendy Claire Barrie \nWe’ll examine the lives and ministries of faithful Episcopalians whose lives embodied solidarity in suffering.

SUMMARY:When is Suffering Redemptive\, and Who Decides?
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by the Rev. Canon Emily Griffin \nMuch has been written about redemptive suffering; that is\, the possibility of suffering for the sake of justice or love leading to a greater good. Others counter that the concept is unjust and contributes to further victimization. We’ll question whether redemption is in the eye of the beholder and consider what roles grace and resurrection play in how we make meaning of our suffering. \nPart of the Wisdom School 2026-27 season \nProgram is free; optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($8/adult; $25/family max.)  \n

SUMMARY:Contemplation as Solidarity: Beyond Thoughts and Prayers
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by the Rev. Carol Westpfahl \n \n“The silence of [our prayer] is not meant to separate us from the world\, but to help us listen more deeply—to God\, and to the cries of humanity. In prayer we try to carry before God the struggles and hopes of so many.” – Monks of New Camaldoli Hermitage\, CA. \nThe life of Jesus teaches us that God stands with the wounded\, vulnerable\, and forgotten\, and that even where the cross is most present\, the quiet power of the resurrection is already at work. God graciously invites us to be part of that work. We will explore how “contemplative activism” rooted in Presence can assist us in embodying compassion and oneness in our response to suffering. \nPart of the Wisdom School 2026-27 season \nProgram is free; optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($8/adult; $25/family max.)  \n

SUMMARY:Talking to God in the Whirlwind: A Sufferer’s Wisdom in the Book of Job
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by the Rev. Adam Conley \n \nHow are we to make sense of suffering when God so blithely allows the life of his servant Job to disintegrate into dust and ashes? The Book of Job isn’t an answer to the problem of evil so much as it is a portrait of a human sufferer in relationship to God. This conversation will plumb the depths of this poetic masterpiece to learn how God relates to the sufferer\, and how the sufferer relates to God. \nPart of the Wisdom School 2026-27 season \nProgram is free; optional community dinner at 6 p.m. ($8/adult; $25/family max.)  \n
