“Christianity Then and Now”

Eight Bi-Weekly Zoom Meetings September-December

What—exactly and in depth—is “Christianity” as a religion? How has it grown, flourished, and evolved, and is now approaching possibly terminal decline in our secular culture? What, if anything, might be done to help save it?

For each meeting we shall read and discuss with their author chapters of a short (44-pp.) booklet, Christianity Then and Now, by fellow parishioner and historian George McCully. Participants may attend any number of meetings. The booklet is a PDF document, freely downloadable HERE. (*See below for (2 pp.) introduction and overview.)

As part of our “Dover Unplugged” community outreach "Caring" series, meetings are open to the public, who are cordially invited to join us.

If you are interested in joining, please reply to gemccully@icloud.com by Monday, August 26^th with your preferred evening(s) of the week to meet. Sessions will begin the week of September 23^rd. 

*Preview (2 pp.) Introduction: This Book, Religion and Secularity

This series of brief essays is intended to provide a concise, in-depth, historical account of the Christian religion as a religion—how it has grown and evolved under the leadership of a few heroic individuals as they have contended with their various challenging environments; how it has gradually ceased to grow and is radically declining under the conditions of modern Western secular culture; and at least tentatively how that might be remedied. ....continue reading HERE

A Place to Turn Needs Diapers!

Thanks to the generosity of our community, the Diaper Project at A Place to Turn was able to provide nearly 200,000 diapers in 2023 last year to families facing financial hardship. Unfortunately, the demand for diapers has significantly increased, and last Thursday alone, they had 91 families seeking assistance. 

As the need continues to rise, they are facing a critical shortage, particularly in sizes 4 and 6 diapers. Their current stock is depleted, and A Place to Turn cannot sustain purchasing diapers from their own funds to meet this demand.

If you can help them, there are three ways you could do it:

• Bring diapers to church, and we’ll deliver them
• Put a check in the plate made out to St. Dunstan’s with “diapers” in the memo line
• Make a gift through Realm and choose A Place to Turn as the Fund.

Thank you for your support
