Christian Ethics

Mosaic is the principal formation offering at Saint Philip’s, a weekly gathering on Wednesdays for fellowship, formation, and prayer.

You are invited to one or all of the events:

5:30pm Evening Prayer in the Sanctuary
6:00pm Fellowship with tea, coffee, and cookies in Saint Anne’s
6:30pm-7:30pm Discussion in Saint Anne’s

The second session, “Christian Ethics,”  is offered through Wednesday, December 10.

Part four of this five-part series on Wednesday, December 3, will be led by parishioner Julia Annas and is titled “Happiness in the Scriptures.”

We don’t associate the Scriptures with happiness, but this is because we too often think of happiness as having a good time or getting the things we want. A deeper understanding of happiness as flourishing—the life well lived—can be found both in the Hebrew scriptures, where we find the joyful nature of the life lived by Jewish values, and in the New Testament, where the Beatitudes give us an unexpected account of who is “blessed” (a more elevated word for happiness).
