Al-lēb: Speaking to the Heart

It is a rare thing in ministry to find a space where nothing is demanded of you, and everything is offered for your restoration. This retreat is designed to be that space.

An Invitation to Rest: Al-lēb

To the weary shepherd: we invite you to All Saints Cathedral on Saturday, May 30th, for a day that is less about "input" and entirely about rest and encounter. Our theme, Al-lēb, comes from the Hebrew promise in Hosea:

"Therefore, behold, I will allure them, and bring them into the wilderness, and speak to their hearts". (Hosea 2:14)

In the Hebrew context, to speak al-lēb is to speak "upon the heart" —it is the intimate, grounding language of a being spoken to by a deep and loving friend.

Come and join Bishop Trevor in this introduction to wood carving iconography. Students will learn how to trace an image of the Good Shepherd onto a board, and to cut the lines. They will learn to identify the levels to carve and how to use 3 different chisels to create the icon. By the end of the workshop they will have acquired the skills needed to complete the carving at home. Bishop Trevor will offer a follow up zoom lesson to consolidate the learning and to fix any issues that may arise

The cost of $75 per person includes a board, chisels and tuition.

Checks to be made payable to ADNE. Maximum of 8 students.

Gospel Integration Seminar Series

Session 2: Immigration and the Gospel

Expert voices. Difficult questions. The heart of Jesus.

This new series of ADNE seminars is designed to lean into the hardest parts of our modern reality, bringing the healing lens of the Gospel to the most complex and sensitive issues of our time.

We launch this series with a deep look at how the Gospel of grace speaks into our exhaustion and our silence.

The Second Seminar: Immigration and the Gospel
Our next webinar will apply this same word of the Gospel--that at once forgives what it convicts--to the issue of immigration.  How does Scripture describe the immigrant, the exile, the sojourner?  How does Jesus' death and resurrection apply to all people: citizens and immigrants alike?  How does the cross of Christ convict and then free you?  The Gospel always bears fruit.  God's grace is for you.  And for all people to whom you are called.  What are some Spirit-led examples of how Christians serve immigrants in America today?  How is the Gospel distinct from nationalism?  

We are delighted to welcome The Rev. Dr. Jacob Rodriguez, Professor of New Testament at Trinity Anglican Seminary as our guest speaker.  Dr. Rodriguez is a New Testament scholar with missional and pastoral experience in Ethiopia, Oxford, Washington, DC, and Pittsburgh with a focus on mobilizing Muslim background believers.  He trains aspiring leaders to interpret Scripture faithfully as the foundation for effective ministry.

Session 1: The Gospel Flips the Script

Expert voices. Difficult questions. The heart of Jesus.

This new series of ADNE seminars is designed to lean into the hardest parts of our modern reality, bringing the healing lens of the Gospel to the most complex and sensitive issues of our time.

We launch this series with a deep look at how the Gospel of grace speaks into our exhaustion and our silence.

The First Seminar: The Gospel Flips the Script We are thrilled to begin this journey with The Rev. Dr. Jono Linebaugh, Director of Anglican Studies at Beeson Divinity School. Dr. Linebaugh reminds us that while the world views religion as our "climb" toward God, the Gospel is always about God’s "descent" toward us.
