Hi Friends!
Tonight Ethan Falleur, '16, will be leading a discussion on sacred spaces!
Discussion questions may include:
- What is "sacred space"? Churches, chapels, and cemeteries are all "consecrated," or set apart for sacred use, but we can feel sacrality anywhere (a mountaintop, a seashore, etc.)
- What is the quality that makes something "feel" sacred? Awe? Wonder? Beauty? "Thinness"?
- Are some spaces more sacred than others? Some people have altars in their homes, but these have rarely been formally consecrated. Is this a less sacred space than an episcopally consecrated church?
- What actually is the qualitative difference between sacred and profane? Is there one?
- What about formal sacred spaces outside your tradition? Do you approach those differently?
Join us at the Canoe Club tonight at 9 for an engaging discussion over a round of free drinks and garlic fries!
Peace,
Marielle
