Lenten Study

Values/Virtues Lenten Study Series

Lent gives us the opportunity to deepen our connections with each other and our world as we reflect on the life and ministry of Jesus. And while we cannot do this in person, we have the following online opportunity that we hope you will avail as spiritual food for the journey. 

As a backdrop to exploring the life and passion of Jesus, we will utilize 6 guiding values from The Virtues Project and connect them to our BVU Values Statement.  Some of the questions we will explore together are:

  • How did these values guide and sustain Jesus in his ministry and calling>?
  • How might these values and virtues assist and encourage us on our own spiritual paths, and as we walk with each other in community?

Virtues: Love/Compassion, Humanity, Faithfulness, Service, Integrity and Resilience. 

How to Register:

Queer Virtue Lenten Series

Based on the book “Queer Virtue” by the Rev. Elizabeth Edman. This series is designed to help us think about Jesus’ demand that we challenge – or “queer”- thinking that pits us against one another. The ultimate question is: how can we live our faith and be the church more effectively?

The LGBTQ2S+ community persistently looks to the margins to see who isn’t yet included and decide what we’re going to do about it. This “path” bears remarkable similarity to the path that Christians are called to walk. Thus, queer experience is a lens that can help Christians better understand and navigate an authentic Christian path.
