Lenten Book Study: Julian of Norwich (Wilks Room)
2025-03-11 10:30 - 11:30 | St. James’ Episcopal Church, 4526 Albany Post Rd., Hyde Park, NY, 12538, United States
Julian of Norwich, an anchoress in the 14th century, was a mystic, teacher and mentor. After a grave illness in which she had visions of Christ, Julian penned her experiences—the first recorded works by a woman in English. We will take a look at a new translation of her “Revelations” in Mirabai Starr’s “Showings” (available at abe books, used; and Amazon, new). Come and join us as we seek to deepen our relationship with God. We will meet in the Wilks room from 10:30 to 11:30 during the Tuesdays of Lent.

Youth who are already confirmed are welcome to join us and share their faith!
Youth from four churches are participating: St. James’ in Hyde Park, St. Paul’s in Pleasant Valley, St. Margaret’s in Staatsburg, and St. Paul’s in Poughkeepsie. Instructors are the Rev. Heather K.
