Saturday, March 13, 10:00 a.m. by Zoom:  Ted Copland will present “Holy Week in Lock Down: how to use our common senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch) for a deeper spiritual experience this year.” As rector of St. Boniface for twenty years, and a priest for more than fifty years, Ted has survived quite a number of busy Holy Weeks, crowded with church services. This year will be different: most of us will be at home, many alone, some with online worship. This gives us an opportunity to use the traditions of the church in new ways, and experience the sense of two thousand years of spiritual anticipation for Easter. Because each of us approaches this sacred time with the uniqueness of our own personalities, the
presentation will offer a variety of adaptations to observe Holy Week, especially the great three days beginning with Maundy Thursday.
Ted Copland has served parishes in Connecticut, the Chicago area, and Siesta Key. He's been a school chaplain and seminary professor, and deepened his own spirituality working in Central America and South Africa. For most of the years he served at Boniface he celebrated the week after Easter with a silent retreat at the Desert House of Prayer in the Sonoran Desert. Since retirement he has been a coach and consultant to Episcopal clergy and churches, and happily serves our current rector on the team of assisting clergy.  This event is part of the series, "Living into the Joy from Lent to Pentecost."  (Zoom ID: 849 5849 3207 / passcode: 596368)
