The Sophia Institute’s Ecumenical Evening series, “Living your Truth” developed by Stephanie Hunt, Barbara Hagerty and Deborah Milling is a monthly series about living YOUR truth; it is about hearing from those on the front lines who bravely and gracefully live the truth of their hearts into formidable lives; it’s the hope that we will, too. Our speakers are portraits of courage and also of beauty, speaking to us personally and passionately, speaking in dance and poetry and politics and faith, of all that matters most to them. We are honored to have such seasoned artists, advocates, and allies challenging us to live vibrantly – voices that shape the world. Please join us for this series – free and open to all – Sophia’s gift to the community. Donations accepted.

Mepkin Abbey’s slave history was little known until Sophia Institute board member Barbara Burgess introduced Abbot Francis Kline (now deceased) to African-American painter, Jonathan Green. That meeting led to a special day of reconciliation at Mepkin in 2006 and inspired Green to paint, and donate, “Seeking” to the Abbey. Barbara’s talk will delineate this historic and poignant convergence.
