Women of Wisdom

October 8 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Woman reading a book

Women of Wisdom (WOW) is a group of women who began gathering monthly in 2018 to discuss great books. We experience a lovely community of women who enjoy keeping community…our theme at Christ & St Luke’s this year.

WOW will meet Tuesday, 8 October, 2024, 3-5pm, in the “gold room” at Christ & St Luke’s.

We will be reading Pádraig Ó Tuama’s In the Shelter. Mother Katie Beth introduced Ó Tuama’s book in her homily on August 25 (audio/video) if you’d like to hear more about him.

Ó Tuama is an Irish poet and theologian. Host of On Being’s Poetry Unbound podcast, he works to bring poetry and literature into conversation with theology and meaning. From 2014-2019 he was the leader of the Corrymeela Community, Ireland’s oldest peace and reconciliation organization. (Taken from the back cover of book)

Read more about him here.

Ó Tuama is coming to Christ & St Luke’s the weekend of October 26, to inaugurate the Jim Sell Community Conversations and to preach on Sunday the 27th. All are invited. Jim Sell was a beloved priest here at CSL, and his family helped create these conversations as a way to remember and honor Jim. Learn more here.

All are welcome to join us, even if you’re not able to read the book before we meet. Please contact Frances Dille for more information.
