Special Education Events
Watch for the weekly electronic Wednesday Weekly and the Sunday announcements for details of special classes and events. One such special educational series is Back to Basics.
In Fall 2012,
Back to Basics (B2B) is moving back to Wednesday evenings. The next class is “Basic Anglicanism,” which runs the following Wednesdays: Sept. 12, 19, 26 and, after a one-week break, Oct. 10 and 17.
As with all other B2B courses, this one begins with a light supper at 6 p.m. Class starts 6:30 p.m. and runs until 8 p.m. in Schuyler Hall, on the fourth floor of the Bishop Tuttle Memorial building, 1210 Locust St., Saint Louis, MO 63103.
Back to Basics is a series of classes through which we dive into basic theological concepts and explore them in all their meaning and mystery. You don’t have to have taken any of the other B2B courses to take one: All the B2B courses stand alone.
These classes are important—and so we ask a commitment to attend all five weeks of a class. The courses are being offered in an ongoing rotation, so if you can’t commit to all five, you’ll know that the classes will come around again. There is a $50-per-person nonrefundable fee to cover food and class materials, but don’t let cost be a deterrent: Financial aid is available. Child care is offered also, if needed.
