The Great Emergence

A workshop on "The Great Emergence: How Christianity is Changing and Why" will be presented by the Rev. John Buenz at St. Benedict's Episcopal Church in Los Osos from 9:30 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22. The workshop is co-sponsored by the San Luis Obispo Deanery and the Hollister Institute. Rev. Buenz is now serving St. Jude the Apostle Church in Cupertino in active retirement following more than 30 years' service including curate at St. Marks, Santa Clara; founding vicar for the Episcopal Church in Almaden in San Jose; rector at St Jude's and dean at the Cathedral St. John, Spokane. Early in that career, Rev. Buenz noticed that North American Christianity was beginning to undergo changes--still evolving--as radical as those of the Protestant Reformation. He is convinced that articulation and work of the Gospel requires attention to the culture in which it is offered--a hallmark of the Episcopal tradition. Lunch will be provided at nominal charge. St. Benedict's Church is at 2220 Snowy Egret Lane on block south of the intersection of Clark Valley and Los Osos Valley roads. For more information, telephone (805) 528-0654.
