A Woman's Testimony: 2023 Cathedral Lenten Preaching Series - This week ZOOM only!

Jesus's encounter with the Samarian woman at the well is one of the most beloved and rich stories of the Lenten season. It is also the longest conversation Jesus has in the gospels. This Lent, as we mark the 100th anniversary of​‌ the first sermon by a woman at the cathedral, we have invited five female-identifying preachers to open up the story of the Samaritan woman's encounter with Jesus in John 4. So join us at the Cathedral, or by livestream, at 5:15 pm on Tuesdays in Lent for a service of lamplighting with Taize chant, and to hear a word from our five guests. Refreshments and conversation with the preacher will follow.

We are so thrilled to have as our preacher tomorrow Mónica Rey, a scholar of the Hebrew scriptures at Boston University. Because of the Nor'easter heading our way, we will run the event on Zoom only, so that everyone can stay safe. Have a candle ready to light at home, and we will have our service of lamp-lighting, with the sermon as the centerpiece. Conversation with the preacher following, too.
