The Church invites all to “Still, Small Voice,” a bi-monthly Sunday gathering that meets from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for reflection and contemplative sharing. The queries for the March iterations of “Still, Small Voice” will be:
March 3: “How does transformation come to us, or we to it?”
February 17: “What role does creativity play in my life?”
In the style of a traditional Quaker meeting, each iteration of “Still, Small Voice” will center around an organizing question about creativity, community and being human in the 21st century. The format of the meeting is unprogrammed and anchored in silence, but receptive to the insights of all participants. It is a space grounded in humanistic pluralism and is welcoming and open to all. Facilitated by former Quaker clerk Erling Hope, the series meets in The Church’s library on the first and third Sundays of each month.
Erling Hope is a multi-media maker of things and experience-technician. For over 35 years, he has been exploring the influence of objects, images and the built environment on the human capacity for reflection and enchantment. He has also been called a “Tourist Trapped in a Local’s Body” by his then teenage child. Though it was intended as a snide insult, he has adopted this appellation as a keen honor and his life’s highest calling.
This program is free, open to the public, and requires no reservations. Visit thechurchsagharbor.org for details. The Church is at 48 Madison Street in Sag Harbor.
