Dearest Readers,
My apologies that is has taken me such a long time to update this blog.
We are finally back in school here at the University of Virginia and have had just over a full month of classes. As fall break approaches (starting tomorrow) many of us will be leaving the Grounds for short adventures into the blissful unknown - a place we only get to venture freely on occasion as we are students and typically find ourselves buried under piles of books, papers, journal articles, staplers, half-sharpened pencils, etc.
This year has been an exciting one for Canterbury. We've a new chaplain, the wonderful Nik Forti, who is very excited about what the group will be doing, what traditions we will maintain, and what new traditions we're bound to create.
There have been many fun activities at each of our Wednesday evening gatherings. We've celebrated a Eucharist together, written personalized prayers of the people for the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, and played my very favorite game of all time with Professor Paul Jones of the Religious Studies department.
We call it "Stump the Theologian."
In the coming weeks, we expect visits from our very own Professor Ben Ray who will talk with us about the Salem Witch Trials. And not shortly thereafter, we'll be heading over the mountain to go apple picking.
For all the alumni of Canterbury, We miss you! But know that you're off doing wonderfully fabulous things with your lives and your freshly minted degrees from the University.
For newcomers, we would love to meet you. Our group meets every Wednesday at 120 Chancellor Street (just behind Bank of America on the Corner), starting at 5.30pm.
Happy Autumnal Equinox everyone and enjoy this lovely change in the seasons!
