SUMMARY:Sacred Decision Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:On November 7-8 Marcia Patton and Nora Percival will present a two day workshop on consensus decision-making at St. Stephen’s\, Columbus.\n\nMarcia and Nora are the authors of Sacred Decision Making: Consensus in Faith Communities. Consensus decision-making in a church setting promotes inclusivity\, is more egalitarian and less patriarchal than other decision-making models\, encourages a collaborative spirit\, fosters the emergence of unanticipated solutions\, offers an alternative to avoiding issues for fear of stirring up trouble\, demonstrates the belief that everyone’s voice is important\, and shows that the people in the room are more important than the decision in question. It embodies the belief that how we work together is as important as what we do and it clearly invites God into the process. Throughout the training Patton and Percival will provide real-life examples\, planning and meeting ideas\, and essential steps to develop a consensus decision-making model. This training is for anyone who wants to explore a method of decision-making that can truly be considered a “kingdom-practice.”\n\nThe workshop will take place at Saint Stephen’s (30 W. Woodruff Avenue). The Friday evening portion will run from 7:00 – 8:30 PM\, and the Saturday session will run from 9-4 with a break for lunch. Attendees are expected to attend both sessions. The workshop is free\, but registration is limited. Go to ststephenscolumbus.org to register.

SUMMARY:Balancing Action and Contemplation
DESCRIPTION:St. Stephen’s\, Columbus\, will offer a six-session Zoom class entitled\, “Balancing Action & Contemplation” will meet weekly from 7 to 8 p.m. starting Thursday\, April 20\, and will run through May 25. This class is designed for folks who have a heart for social justice and will be facilitated by St. Stephen’s parishioner Jamie Massa. \nHere is a brief summary of the six-week class. \n\nContemplation: Some form of contemplative practice is necessary to be able to detach from your own agenda\, your own anger\, your own ego\, and your own fear.\nAlternative Consciousness: What you are doing in contemplation is moving to a level beneath your thoughts: the level of pure and naked being.\nWatching the River: It is helpful to become aware of one’s thoughts and feelings through simple contemplative practices like: centering prayer\, Lectio Divina\, welcoming prayer\, Yoga\, Tai Chi\, and other meditative movement\, wandering or sitting in nature or simply focusing on your breath.\nBecoming Pure in Heart: For Jesus\, prayer seems to be a matter of waiting in love\, returning to love\, trusting that love is the unceasing stream of reality.\nAction AND Contemplation: We need both action and contemplation to have a whole spiritual journey. It doesn’t matter which comes first; action may lead you to contemplation and contemplation may lead you to action.\nSummary: Over time—months\, years\, a full lifetime—contemplation gradually opens our hearts\, minds\, and bodies to Love as our True Self and right action.\n\nMore information and sign up here.
