I call upon this community to join my spiritual search for the historical John Eliot.
To this end, I am offering you a “teaspoon curriculum” that breaks up his complex story into (so far) 23 teaspoon size portions. Each will appear in the successive weeks over, the spring and summer in different formats within our different media—our website, The Week at Eliot Church, One Minute Minister, Columns, and Facebook. I am building a collaborative process, involving partners in the indigenous nations of Southern New England and other non-native activists and scholars. I will encourage a core group to materialize from among you to lead and model this process. This experience will be accessible not only to congregational participants but also to the general public who might by this meansfind their way into this community. You can follow the program voluntarily at your own pace and take advantage of regular opportunities to join a Zoom conversation. We will devise a way to incorporate your research, your learnings and observations into our accumulating record, Wiki-style. Make a commitment to my spiritual search for the historical John Eliot! Get out a notebook, put a weekly placeholder in your calendar for John Eliot, keep track of the numbered sessions and just go back to the website archive if you miss any. More detailed instructions are forthcoming. I will start this Sunday with a preview of the (so far) 23 topics and the spiritual thread that ties them together. Subsequent Sundays will put everything in place to open Week 1 with Topic 1 on June 1st. RevRick |
