Suburban Monastery
We are ramping up for a new season of Suburban Monastery. This is a place (not a program) we created several years ago at Westside King’s Church and it is being relaunched this fall. As the director of spiritual formation at the church, I wanted to create a context where we could learn to read the Bible formationally. We really had no template for what emerged; all we saw was the need for suburban people to find solid and transformational spiritual nourishment and to engage the long history of faithful Christian experimentation we are part of. I believe in an experienced faith, but one that is deeply tied to the Scripture. And so the monastery exists for this purpose: to be a place for people to explore a life with God, to learn how the Bible helps us do this, to appreciate the long story we are part of, and to practice another way of being.
You can find out what is happening at wkc.org. If you live in Calgary, come and join us on Wednesday nights, beginning September 24. You can register for the program at suburbanmonastery@wkc.org
