Sunday, January 31, 2021
Entering the conversation through the lens of her research in 2010 with congregations on the subject of call and vocation, Kathleen leads us towards a deeper understanding of what it means to be called by God to a vocation. She expands on the development of the eight prepositions as a way of talking about vocation: how each of us is called by God, to follow, as we are, from grief, for service, in suffering, through others, within God.
