What is Truth: Lenten Preaching Series

Lenten Preaching Series 2019

Pilate’s question to Jesus, “What is truth?” (John 18:38), resonates through the ages, as we each stand before God wrestling with questions of meaning and identity.  In our time, the idea of truth is under attack in new ways, challenging our coherence as a society and the witness of the church.

This Lent, the annual preaching series at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul (138 Tremont Street) in Boston will feature bishops, scholars, a poet and a journalist engaging the question, “What is truth?”

The series takes place on Thursdays, March 7-April 11, 12-1:30 p.m., featuring a simple worship service with guest sermon, followed by a light lunch and conversation with the preacher. Everyone is welcome.

• March 7: Bishop Gayle E. Harris;

• March 14: Sally Haslanger—Ford Professor of Philosophy and Women’s and Gender Studies, MIT;

• March 21: Regie Gibson—Poet, writer, educator and national poetry slam champion;

• March 28: Jonathan Cavillo—Assistant Professor, Boston University School of Theology;

• April 4: Matthew Bell—Reporter, Public Radio International’s “The World”; and

• April 11: Bishop Alan M. Gates.
