2024 with Virginia Theological Seminary

We are grateful for our partnership with VTS Center for Anglican Communion Studies (CACS) and our continued collaboration on developing the interfaith practice of Scriptural Reasoning (SR).

In April we ran SR facilitator training to support expansion of the practice on and beyond campus, alongside an introduction to reconciliation for the wider student body. We returned in September to run an introduction to SR for students and local faith leaders, as well as an advanced facilitation training for those already familiar with the practice.

“I appreciate the permission Scriptural Reasoning gives to sit with an unresolved concern and take time to be with/see the humans who are in that space with me. “ ~ Participant

For the advanced group we discussed the Habits of a Reconciler, and how different Scriptural traditions empower followers to harness and model particular habits. It was a joy to host CACS director Professor Katherine Grieb at Rose Castle as part of the Christian Wisdom of Reconciliation project. We look forward to continuing our partnership next year.
