SUMMARY:African Americans and the Bible Book Study
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays in April from 6-7:30 pm on Zoom\nJoin the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio this April for an engaging and transformative formation opportunity: African Americans and the Bible. \nThis four-week study invites participants into a deeper understanding of the historical and cultural relationship between African Americans and Holy Scripture. Grounded in The Talking Book by Allen Dwight Callahan\, this course explores how African Americans encountered\, interpreted\, proclaimed\, and embodied the Bible in the midst of enslavement and the ongoing struggle for freedom and dignity. \nFor generations\, the Bible has been more than a sacred text in African American communities—it has been a source of hope\, resistance\, identity\, spiritual wrestling\, and spiritual power. Together\, we will examine how this “talking book” has shaped faith\, worship\, preaching\, and public witness. Participants will gain a richer appreciation for Scripture as it has been read and lived through the cultural lens of African Americans\, broadening and deepening their own engagement with the Word of God. \nWhether you are clergy\, a lay leader\, or someone seeking to grow in faith and understanding\, this study offers space for learning\, reflection\, and meaningful conversation. Come ready to listen\, to learn\, and to encounter the Bible anew. We look forward to walking this journey together. \n\nQuestions about this event and program?\n\nContact the Rev. Aaron Rogers\, missioner for Black ministries\, at arogers@diosohio.org. \nRegistration \nThere is no cost for this program and no deadline to register. The first ten people to register will receive a complimentary copy of The Talking Book by Dr. Callahan. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Columbus-area LGBTQ+ Affinity Group gathering: Poetry Evening

Please feel free to bring a snack or beverage (non-alcoholic) to share. \nLocation: meeting room of the Columbus Metropolitan Library—Franklinton Branch (1061 W Town St\, Columbus OH 43222) \nAbout the Author: Pádraig Ó Tuama is an Irish poet\, theologian\, and conflict mediator who presents the podcast Poetry Unbound. \nAbout the Text: With an observant eye\, Pádraig Ó Tuama shares an enlightening meditation on each poem\, revealing the ways we relate to each other\, the world around us\, and ourselves.

DESCRIPTION:In 2025\, we took important steps in reinvigorating connections across churches at the regional level in the Diocese of Southern Ohio. We experimented with Regional Staff Work Days\, in which diocesan staff traveled together to sites around the diocese\, increasing access to in-person meetings and fellowship with local leaders. At the same time\, a task force met and gathered with lay and clergy leaders for conversation and input about the ways we gather across geography\, a process that resulted in the creation of four new regions. \nAs a continuation of that investment in accessibility and connection\, the diocesan staff will once again hit the road in 2026\, offering opportunities to meet\, learn\, celebrate\, and connect beyond the walls of your own church. \nIn each region of the diocese\, the diocesan staff will be present for Staff Work Days\, offering the opportunity for drop-in fellowship and appointments with local leaders\, reducing barriers for face-to-face connection. \nCentral Region: Friday\, April 24 \n10-11 am – Drop-in Fellowship Hour with light snacks and coffee.\n11-3 pm – Staff available for pre-made appointments. \nNo RSVP required to join the Regional Staff Days\, but please make an appointment if wanting to meet with staff. \nSchedule with staff member

SUMMARY:African Americans and the Bible Book Study
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays in April from 6-7:30 pm on Zoom\nJoin the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio this April for an engaging and transformative formation opportunity: African Americans and the Bible. \nThis four-week study invites participants into a deeper understanding of the historical and cultural relationship between African Americans and Holy Scripture. Grounded in The Talking Book by Allen Dwight Callahan\, this course explores how African Americans encountered\, interpreted\, proclaimed\, and embodied the Bible in the midst of enslavement and the ongoing struggle for freedom and dignity. \nFor generations\, the Bible has been more than a sacred text in African American communities—it has been a source of hope\, resistance\, identity\, spiritual wrestling\, and spiritual power. Together\, we will examine how this “talking book” has shaped faith\, worship\, preaching\, and public witness. Participants will gain a richer appreciation for Scripture as it has been read and lived through the cultural lens of African Americans\, broadening and deepening their own engagement with the Word of God. \nWhether you are clergy\, a lay leader\, or someone seeking to grow in faith and understanding\, this study offers space for learning\, reflection\, and meaningful conversation. Come ready to listen\, to learn\, and to encounter the Bible anew. We look forward to walking this journey together. \n\nQuestions about this event and program?\n\nContact the Rev. Aaron Rogers\, missioner for Black ministries\, at arogers@diosohio.org. \nRegistration \nThere is no cost for this program and no deadline to register. The first ten people to register will receive a complimentary copy of The Talking Book by Dr. Callahan. \nREGISTER HERE
