bishop steven charleston education for ministry efm empathy holy week jesus palm sunday quid pro quo smohalla stones cry out the native covenant sharon ely pearson this lent i have attempted to stay away from news social media and engaging in public lamentation about the state of affairs in the united states i haven t always been successful it continues to be a desert time for me as i ask how long o lord as civil rights human rights all sorts of rights seem to be bargaining chips for a price the phrase stones cry out has also come to mind at this time found in luke 19 40 jesus says i tell you if these keep quiet the stones will cry out jesus s identity and purpose would be so undeniable that even the natural world would acknowledge it even if people refused to today it is a symbolic expression not a literal one referring to a situation where even inanimate objects would speak out in protest or praise if humans remained silent many of us have not been silent we are crying out with the stones but a new pattern is emerging quid pro quo except it s a one sided deal that only helps those who have no empathy for others a friend shared a sign their church put up this past month i have engaged in a lot of education for ministry things efm to me is a place of safety where a small group of individuals can share their deepest questions and yearnings we learn from each other as we listen with ears of the heart my own efm group has read bishop steven charleston s the four vision quests of jesus i gave two workshops for the episcopal church in connecticut one onsite one on zoom about efm and am doing contract work with efm staff in constructing asynchronous training modules for mentors i highly recommend you check out all that is new regarding efm if you are not familiar with this formation program for adults also check out bishop charleston s book it would make an excellent holy week devotional reading it broadened my thoughts on jesus s last week there is no quid pro quo involved but plenty of pro bono of building up of the body of christ continue reading the stones cry out share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook email a link to a friend

i had gathered supplies to put together bags to give out to our households at my church based on what building faith had posted a few years ago the original idea came from camille lebron powell in the

mark the events of holy week while we are unable to gather in person attending holy week services daily from palm sunday thru the easter vigil is something i have never missed at least in my adult life i ve been wondering how to help folks connect to the deep readings our lectionary offers on these days so i went back to look what i have posted on my other website the prayer book guide to christian education based on the book 3rd edition that i edited and updated with robyn szoke for many years i posted a weekly reflection based on the sunday s lectionary readings all three years are now online so the website simply sits there for folks to tap into so i thought it might be helpful to link the posts from holy week for year a here for easy access without having to use the website s

thanksgiving sharon ely pearson four of the volumes of my faithful celebration series books many of the formative experiences in life happen when several generations are together think about it when were you fully engaged in learning about jesus or living out your baptismal covenant surely it wasn t when you were alone perhaps it was in serving others or immersed in a worship service most likely there was more than one generation present in our society we tend to separate people by age mainly for education and employment in the recent past christian formation programs have made the same separation of generations but more and more formation educators are offering programs in which adults and children learn together it is a way to pass on faith generation to generation old learn from young and young learn from old while sunday mornings may still sadly be the most segregated time in our country at least for mainline church goers it is the most generationally diverse time many of us
