Frequently Asked Questions
What is “The Canterbury House”?
The name draws inspiration from Geoffrey Chaucer’s famous narrative poem. The Canterbury Tales depicts people from all walks of life learning from one another, reveling in the poignant and absurd drama of the human condition, and revealing something of God's truth as they pilgrimage to Canterbury. It’s a vision of the connection and community that we’d like to cultivate here at Advent Anglican.
Authentic community often requires that we “do our homework.” When no one’s reading, seeking enchantment, or inhabiting the work God has called them to do, we’re usually stuck talking about the weather. The Canterbury House calls us to a higher region of engagement, particularly within the arts and humanities. It’s important to create space for parishioners to share their experience and knowledge with one another. The roster of speakers testifies to a dynamic expression of faith in Jesus and His truth. Our speakers are uniquely gifted to address matters both terrestrial and transcendent. Seminars seek to encourage the people of Advent as we share this pilgrimage called “The Christian Life.” It’s not the pulpit, and certainly not a soap box, but a forum where we can learn, ask questions, and experience kinship with one another.
