Why are we carrying candles in the procession?11:15am, Trinity Church Today we celebrate the feast of the Presentation of our Lord in the Temple, some-times called Candlemas. Candles are often blessed at this time of year, as daylight hours grow longer, commemorating the coming of the Light of Christ in our lives.
Discovery: Revelation—Prophecies That Provoke10am, 74 Trinity Place, 2nd Floor, Parish Hall This series on “The Revelation to John” offers a deeper understanding of the lan-guage and imagery as well as the theological and historical milieu from which it emerged. Today, Trinity’s Rector, the Rev. Dr. James H. Cooper, discusses “The Battle of Good and Evil.” While much contemporary biblical criticism finds in Rev-elation a critique of the Roman Empire and the politics of domination, many faithful Christians read the book as a predication of end times or an allegory of the spiritual battle of good and evil. Both readings affirm God’s ultimate victory and the establish-ment of the New Jerusalem. This class will explore how such readings may support the spiritual life of a community, particularly in times of stress and change.
Task Force Against Racism: Voices—Past and Present1pm, 74 Trinity Place, 2nd Floor, Parlor As part of TFAR’s Black History Month series, members and friends of the con-gregation offer their voices through poetry, readings, song, etc. Next week: The African Presence in the Hebrew Bible, presented by Onleilove Alston, M.Div, MSW, community organizer, speaker, and writer. All are welcome. Information: Terrell at [email protected] or 212.602.0710.

Stewardship of Change
The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. The
opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference. The
opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference. And the
opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.
—Elie Wiesel
Stewardship is the spiritual discipline of generously giving of all that we have and all that we are. Each month we con-sider a different aspect of our response to God’s gifts.
