D.C. AREA PEOPLE: This Sunday, from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., I’llbe leading a discussion at St. Matthew’s Cathedral of spiritual friendship–how our friendships with others can be modeled on and strengthen friendship with Christ. The discussion will be based on St. Aelred’s book SPIRITUAL FRIENDSHIP, but you do NOT have to have read the book to come and participate!

The discussion is sponsored by Always Our Children, the cathedral’s gay & lesbian ministry. St. Matthew’s is at 17th and Rhode Island, a short walk from the Dupont Circle metro: http://www.stmatthewscathedral.org/

We’ll be in the West Conference Room, in the basement. I will also be making chocolate-covered strawberries (MMM), so let me know if you’re definitely coming so that I know about how many to make. If you want to get a head start, this is the handout I’ll be using:

but again, you don’t need to have read anything to come and participate in the discussion.

I hope to see lots of you there! Please email me if you have any questions–and definitely forward this to anyone you think might be interested!
