Trinity Talks
Stories dig deep and open within us new ways of seeing and being in the world. They challenge worn-out narratives and birth fresh perspectives, illuminating the endless ways we’re connected to one another and to all life on this planet.
Join Trinity as we welcome storytellers whose work invites us to consider our place in this interconnected story — and how our awareness, presence, and action can influence its unfolding.
Trinity Talks: Marilynne Robinson
April 21, 2024, 1pm | Trinity Commons
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Marilynne Robinson discusses her new book, Reading Genesis, “a powerful consideration of the profound meanings [of scripture] and promise of God’s enduring covenant with humanity.”
Her novels are noted for their thematic depiction of both rural life and faith. The subjects of her essays have spanned numerous topics, including the relationship between religion and science, US history, nuclear pollution, John Calvin, and contemporary American politics.
Doors open at 12:30 pm with refreshments available for in-person attendees.
Trinity Talks: The Age of Grievance
May 30, 2024, 6:30pm | St. Paul's Chapel
In his powerful new book, The Age of Grievance, best-selling author and New York Times columnist Frank Bruni examines how grievance has defined and shaped America — from the fierce debates of our Founding Fathers to today’s perilous climate of metastasizing anger. But while our politics and culture may seem irretrievably broken, Bruni says there are cures for what ails us.
Join us for a compelling discussion between Bruni and the Rev. Phillip A. Jackson about how the U.S. got here and what it will take to break the hold of our grudges.
Doors open at 5:30pm with a casual reception featuring drinks and light bites. The one-hour conversation is followed by a book signing and refreshments, concluding around 8pm.
