Morals and messages are passed down from generation to generation through myths in the forms of fairy tales, legends, tall tales, folklore and fables. This monthly series uses fairy tales on Sunday morning to enable St. John’s alumni to discuss the moral lessons contained within short stories that we tell our children. We call it “Church” because it’s a time for us to reflect on our values together. We used fairy tales because they are generally accepted as fantasy, thus allowing us to speak of magic we all call magic. And they’re awfully short and easy to read in the 15 minutes before seminar.
Currently, the program is focused on classics like Aesop’s Fables, the Brothers’ Grimm, Uncle Remus, Hans Christian Andersen and stories that are in the public domain. We hope you’ll join us for one week or the whole series! The last Sunday of each month at 9am: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/4075838760?pwd=S1sRwwqUQMFDtIihbeZf3mHCPgsCRB.1
