Resources from “Prayer and the Presidency”

Thanks to all who joined us Tuesday. Mike mentioned a couple of resources, and we’re publishing them here.

The Rev. Dr. Luis Leon, rector of St. John’s Church, Lafayette Square preached a sermon the Sunday after the inauguration. In the sermon he talks about the need of the parish to ask questions about their participation in future inaugurations. This link will take you to their iTunes page.

The Rev. Mike Angell will take a turn as presenter this coming month at Theology on Tap. Before moving to St. Louis, Mike served as Assistant Rector at St. John’s Church, Lafayette Square, often called the “Church of the Presidents.” Every president since Madison has worshiped at St. John’s, including the new president on the morning of the inauguration. Mike will talk about his experience there, and we will discuss questions about the relationship of church to state in this new era.

October 9 (Special Date): Justice Across Borders followed by a Debate Watch party

Join us at a special date, and a different location, this October. Noah Bullock, Executive Director of Cristosal will be with us. Cristosal is a fast-growing Anglican Human Rights and Social Justice organizing group based in El Salvador. On the national holiday weekend named for Christopher Columbus, Holy Communion is exploring a relationship with El Salvador. Columbus day has come into controversy in recent years. We thought there was no better time to look at issues of justice that continue to connect North America and Central America.

After Noah’s presentation, stick around for a debate watch party. We’ll watch the candidates for president as the speak from Washington University on the big screens.
