10 – 10:55 a.m. 3 Sundays in Memorial Hall

• Jan 22 – The Anglican Sacramental Imagination and the Book of Common Prayer: This session will provide a general introduction to the Anglican sacramental imagination and locate it within the Episcopal tradition in the prayer book.  We will consider the Book of Common Prayer as both a product and subsequent shaper of the distinctive Anglican sacramental sensibility.  
• Jan 29 – The Anglican Sacramental Imagination and Creation: This session will consider some visual and literary works that have been shaped by and given expression to God’s self-revelation in creation.  
• Feb 5– The Anglican Sacramental Imagination and Redemption: This session will consider some visual and literary works that have been shaped by and given expression to God’s self-revelation in the calling of Israel, in God’s Word spoken through the prophets, and in Jesus Christ.
