Upcoming Sessions

Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited
Presented by Victor Judge
9:45-10:45am, Sunday, July 7, 14, 21, and 28
Celebration Room

As a continuation of our series on the modern Catholic novel, the month of July will be devoted to a study of Brideshead Revisited by the British author Evelyn Waugh (1903 – 1966). Acknowledged by Time magazine as “one of the century’s great masters of English prose,” Waugh wrote Brideshead Revisited in 1945, fifteen years after his conversion to Roman Catholicism. A portrait of an aristocratic English Catholic family in the waning days of the empire, the novel explores, according to Waugh, “the operation of divine grace on a group of diverse but closely connected characters” and the recovery of faith as recounted through flashbacks from the dark days of World War II. The lecturer for the series is Victor Judge, assistant dean for academic affairs at Vanderbilt University Divinity School.

Dreams: A Life of Their Own?
Presented by Marilyn Hammond, Ph.D.
9:45-10:45am, Sunday, August 11 and 18, 2019
Celebration Room

In the Hebrew Scriptures, Joseph and Daniel are said to have been especially gifted, blessed by God to deal with dreams. In the New Testament, dreams helped Joseph decide what to do about marrying Mary, and when to flee to and return from Egypt with Mary and young Jesus.  Today we know that dreaming is part of our natural ninety-minute sleep cycle. The depth psychologies of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung brought renewed interest in dreams, though dreams for the most part are baffling to the waking mind. However, there are meaningful ways to befriend and interact with dreams as a God-connection. This is the topic of 2 sessions presented by Marilyn Hammond, Ph.D., now retired after teaching community college psychology courses and serving on the Board of the Jung Society in Dallas, TX for many years before recently moving to Nashville.
