Neighbors - I've recently become director of the Continuing Education department at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary - just down the street - and I'm starting to learn that lots of folks in the area have no idea what kinds of great offerings are available to the community! I hope to turn the office into a more effective educational gateway between the wonderful resources here and the curious & inquisitive out there. As the craziness of the holiday season ramps up (peace? joy? Where?), I wanted to let you know about a wonderful week-long immersion class coming up in January - perfectly timed for that post-holiday, hunker-down time. If you have time, and if you have any interest in early Christian spirituality and monasticism, you might want to consider this: http://pce.pts.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=course&OfferingID=91 Bonnie Thurston is a total gem and the class is a beloved fixture in our spiritual formation program. Questions? Suggestions for things that would make you visit us at the seminary? E-me at my work address: hblier@pts.edu . And watch this space for more interesting offerings! Gratefully, Helen
