What is grace? What if we as Christians have been focusing too much on the relationship of grace to our sins and not enough on how God’s grace is connected to our goodness? Hildegard of Bingen was a 12th century abbess, preacher, musician, herbalist, painter, and poet who often wrote about the greening of God being the life force that is pulsing throughout the universe, nurturing God’s love and goodness in everything that is. Come green the goodness of God’s grace in your life through this interactive series where we will be creatively making our ideas and questions of God’s grace and goodness in our lives and reading Christ of the Celts: The Healing of Creation by J. Philip Newell.

This series will be co-led by Rev. Dr. Austin Leininger and Angela Hummel. Angela has a BA, and MA in Theology and is currently working on her Doctorate in Ministry at Illiff school of Theology. Angela has created a method for exploring ideas and questions about God through making art, what she calls, Art Theology. Her ideas have been published by TEDx and the Wabash foundation. We are extremely grateful to the Episcopal Church and the Roanridge grant for funding that has made this opportunity possible.
