As we prepare for the season of Lent, we will explore the story of the development of jazz music in America, which can offer striking and unexpected parallels to our modern Christian walk.

We will also explore the disciplines required in jazz as we discuss the theory underpinning the music, and we will conclude by honing our focus on a single recording - the John Coltrane Quartet’s “A Love Supreme.”

This will be a listening class with several music examples played both from recordings and performed live as examples to help ground our discussion to the music itself.

Adult Seminar Series
It’s important to create space for parishioners to share their experience and knowledge with one another. We don’t often have the luxury (or the time) to wrestle with the “things of God” outside of Sunday worship. The Adult Seminars Series endeavor to create this space. 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.

Seminars take place on Sunday morning from 9:00 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. in Fee Hall (room F7) on the NU campus, which is in building 10D on this campus map.

Contact our Pastor of Arts and Education, Dcn. Jeremiah, with any questions.
