Wesley United to host Dr. Carol Kilby

What Time Is It — Advent or Advent’ure?

“In this climate emergency, our traditional stories from the Hebrew-Christian Bible and the new story from modern science make for powerful dance partners, stronger and more relevant together than apart.”  Carol Kilby, Evolutionary Dancer, Out, In, and On the Fringe of the Church

It is with great excitement that Wesley United in Welland announces that they are hosting Rev. Dr. Carol Kilby! 

She will share with us her wisdom gleaned from writing her book Evolutionary Dancer; Out, In, and On the Fringe of the Church.

Rev. Kilby will lead us in worship and in a learning circle just before Advent begins, inviting us among other things, to engage in this celebration of anticipation, in the context of 21stC cosmology, as an evolutionary moment for humanity and Christianity. There is no denying that we are experiencing  an ecological crisis and there is no better time to turn to our faith for wisdom on next steps. Carol’s book is available for purchase through Amazon.
