The Wisdom of Stability
From 11:00 am to 12:30 pmAs our congregation approaches 140 years of ministry in the Pomona Valley, we believe it is vital for us to consider collectively what it means for a gathered community of Christians to stay in place. Stability is a spiritual practice that began with the Desert Mothers and Fathers of the 3rd century, and it is the first rule of community life in the Benedictine order. What does it mean for Christians now, who are not living a monastic life, to practice stability? Join us as we explore, through reflection, story, and conversation, the spiritual practice of stability for our own lives as Christians and as a community of faith. Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove’s book, The Wisdom of Stability, is the platform for our exploration. It is our hope, as your pastors, that this time together will inform how we imagine our future, as we recognize and celebrate our past and give thanks for the present moments of ministry we share. If you have not attended the previous sessions, please contact the Church Office (fcc@fccpomona.org) to RSVP. The final session will be Sunday, July 16.
