What is the Cross?

Jesus died on a cross. That much we can agree on. But beyond that, things get complicated and emotions get strong. “The Cross” is revered in devotions, lifted high in hymns, and sometimes wielded like a weapon. How we understand this central symbol of our tradition impacts how we live, how we love, and how we hope.

 

Join the St. Paul Center for Theology and Prayer for a day of learning, reflection, and prayer on the Big Question of “What is the Cross?” Bring your questions, your hopes, your fears, and your heart to a space where they will all be held with care.  



‘What is the Cross?’ days will be hosted on August 29th at St. Paul’s Newburyport, St. Thomas’ Taunton, and the Cathedral Church of St. Paul Boston, 10am to 2.30pm. You are warmly invited to join us at whichever location works for you! Tea and coffee will be served at the start of the day, and you are invited to bring a packed lunch.



All participants will receive materials which they can bring back to their home congregations, to continue the conversation and learning.
