7 Trinity Lenten Series Prepare for Weekend with Matthew Fox March 11 & 12 4 Sundays Read & Reflect on Fox 2/14, 2/21, 2/28, 3/6 FEBRUARY 14 Path I: Via Positiva The intuition that creation is indeed a blessing, and the response of gratitude for it, constitute the experience of the Via Positiva. On the 4 Sundays leading up to the weekend with Matthew, we will read and reflect on his Four Paths of the Creation Mystical Journey. We will meet in the Parish Hall 11:20 am 12:30 pm. Please sign up for these 4 Sunday meetings at the Welcome Table. The readings are available at the Welcome Table and on the homepage of Trinity s website. FREE FEBRUARY 21 Path II: Via Negativa Our second journey into the mystery of Divinity and ourselves is that of experiencing the darkness of letting go and letting be. FEBRUARY 28 Path III: Via Creativa The primary spiritual practice in creation spirituality is art as meditation, wherein we come to grips with our images: trusting them, birthing them, accepting responsibility for them and taking the consequences of them. MARCH 6 Path IV: Via Transformativa While creativity lies at the heart of the universe and at the heart of the human psyche and spiritual journey, it finds its fullest expression in the transformation of society itself. This transformation is an issue of compassion, the response to an interdependent universe.

8 PSALM 99 The LORD is Sovereign; let the people tremble; the LORD is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth shake. The LORD is great in Zion and is high above all peoples. Let them confess the name of the LORD, which is great and awesome; the LORD is the Holy One. O mighty Sovereign, lover of justice, you have established equity; you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob. Proclaim the greatness of the LORD our God, and fall down before the footstool of the Holy One. Moses and Aaron among your priests, and Samuel among those who call upon your name, they called upon you, O LORD, and you answered them. You spoke to them out of the pillar of cloud; they kept your testimonies and the decree that you gave them. O LORD our God, you answered them indeed; you were a God who forgave them, yet punished them for their evil deeds. Proclaim the greatness of the LORD our God and worship upon God s holy hill; for the LORD our God is the Holy One.

(Sarum Primer, 1514) episcopal campus ministry at st. michaels in IV THE PROBLEM OF PRESENCE IN MODERN RELIGION AND ITS STUDY: A Talk by Robert Orsi Wednesday, February 17, 5:00 p.m.; Free and Followed by Reception McCune Conference Room, 6020 Humanities and Social Sciences Building, UCSB The question of real presence, the Catholic doctrine of the literal, physical, embodied presence of Christ in the host, coincided with early modern global conquest and commerce and shaped how Europeans encountered the religions of others. Robert Orsi explores the role of real presence in the making of the modern world, in particular modern religion, and in the study of religion, and calls instead for religious and historical scholarship that attends to the gods really present. Robert A. Orsi is Professor of Religious Studies and History and Grace Craddock Nagle Chair in Catholic Studies at Northwestern University. His latest book, History and Presence, will be published by Harvard University Press (March 2016). Presented by the Department of Religious Studies, UCSB.
