Transmission WEDNESDAYS

We regularly meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month for a vegetarian dinner, home-cooked ritual, prayer, hang-out and social time. When there’s a 5th Wednesday (like this May), we organize some sort of activity. We’re a bit of a roaming tabernacle right now, with our next upcoming meeting in an apartment and still experimenting with the space at St. Mark’s in-the-Bowery. Send us an email if you’d like to help plan a ritual, bring food, or have an activity idea!

Wed, May 2nd - How Do We Know God Loves Us?
7-9pm, Union Theological Seminary, Broadway @ 121st (go to front lobby for directions to Paul’s apartment). Bowie & Katie are planning an exploration of how we feel loved by God, love God, and act on/out of that love.

Wed, May 16th - Ritual on Church and Accessibility
7-9pm, Katherine’s place (193rd and Fort George)
Planned by Paul & Isaac, exploring disability and different abilities.

Wed, May 30th - 5th Wednesday Activity
Hmm, some sort of Wednesday evening activity. Ideas anyone?
There may also be a short meeting for people interested in planning a service looking at turning 30 and “rites of passage.” Email back at this address if you’ve got an activity idea or to Bowie (epiphany.ny@gmail.com) if you’re interested in helping plan the ritual for the following week.

Wed, June 6th - Turning 30 as a Rite of Passage
Come be part of a service exploring turning 30 on Bowie’s big day (6/6/07), along with dinner and cake for a few members of the Transmission crew who have birthdays in May & June (email us if you do too!). Come share your stories and thoughts about the big 3-0, whether you’re years away or many years past.

Transmission COMMUNITY

Shoot us an email if you have an event that you want to send out to the wider Transmission community. We’ve got lots of spiritual, artistic, social-actions types among us… these community events enable us to support each other, get inspired, and have more excuses to get together.

TONIGHT - Sun, April 29 - Isaac Everett preaching at Sanctuary
6pm, Church of the Epiphany, 74th and York Ave
Isaac says: “I’ll be preaching this coming Sunday night at one of the places I work, Sanctuary. But wait, you ask, aren’t you mister anti-sermon? Aren’t you always ranting about how preaching imposes patriarchal models of authority and reinforces patterns of passivity in an already anemic church culture? Well, yeah, I am that guy. On the other hand, the lectionary reading this week is from the Book of Revelation and the opportunity to wave my arms around and shout of about rivers of blood and seven-headed dragons was too delicious to pass up. So if you’re not doing anything and feel like stopping by, please do!”

Mon, May 7th - “Bon Frieg!” by our poet and playwright in residence, T. John Snodgrass
9:30pm, Jimmy’s No. 43, Downstairs at 43 East 7th St. btw 2nd & 3rd Ave, $5 Admission
Snodgrass says: “I’m very excited to announce that the Outlaws Theatre will be staging ‘BonFrieg!’ as part of their series of new plays to brighten the first Monday of each month. As some of you may know, I have written many one-acts, and this is my personal favorite - zany comedy, action, romance, and something of a mystery as well. Director/producer Vanessa Reseland will be presenting a short piece as an opening act. The play runs about forty minutes, and you are all invited to join us afterwards for Discussion, Handcrafted Beer and Local & Organic Home Cooking at Jimmy’s No. 43.”

Thurs, June 7th - Evening with Ian Mobsby at Trinity Church Wall Street
Ian Mobsby from Moot in London will be talking about how Rublev’s Icon and a Trinitarian ecclesiology can enable us to be experimental and do mission. Ian is a founding member of Moot, an emerging church community in London, UK and has been doing emerging church stuff in the UK for the last 14 years, is sweet, and totally radical. Find out more about the event on the Trinity website.
