The story begins with a remnant, the chosen among the species of the Earth, who are blessed with unique gifts for completing a perilous quest.

Willis shares,

“The Lord planted,

A perfect love,

Seed of Adam and Eve,

Painted the future,

Between good and evil,

One bad apple,

Seed of the serpent,

Eve tricks Adam,

Biting the bad apple,

To be like God,

So she can be,

The prettiest girl

In the garden,

Adam disobeys,

To the Lord,

The whole world,

Became darkness,

Seed of light,

Came down from heaven,

Jesus Christ,

Rest our soul,

To that perfect love,

Adam and Eve,

Once had.”

The Bible can seem intimidating and philosophical to some, but what if someone could focus in on just eight practical principles? Far from abstract, Laureano’s teachings are grounded in biblical instructions that illustrate a Christian lifestyle for a healthier life and a better relationship with God.

“These principles will cause you to unlock the hidden revelation in scripture, allowing insight into the clarity of God’s word. The Eight Principles of Faith is at hand and approved by God for our learning,” said Laureano.

Lenona L. Laureano gave her life to the Lord at the age of 17. She is called to the fivefold ministry as a teacher. She received her doctorate degree in Biblical Studies from Higher Learning College of Theology, which was a satellite college of North Carolina College of Theology in Wilmington, NC at that time.

An excerpt from the book shares, “This book depicts the story of Lesley’s journey from the depths of darkness and into the light of a forgiving and gracious God.

“The reader will learn of Lesley’s struggles from a raging drug addiction to the shock of a cancer diagnosis, followed by a massive stroke which resulted in the paralysis of her left side.

“God showed me purpose in His creation and taught me lessons through successes and failures afield. Through a gentle whisper in the wind or a beautiful note from a songbird, He gave me hope. In an errant shot or misplaced arrow, He taught me humility,” said Perkins.

The Rev. Canon Dr. Stephanie Spellers and The Rev. Jay Sidebotham serving as keynoters for its Christian formation event, Kanuga begins its transition from virtual to in-person events this summer.

“There will be time for worship, spiritual growth, reflection, imagining, dreaming and mapping our future with the hope of endless possibilities.” —Cookie Cantwell, conference coordinator

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (PRWEB)
April 28, 2021

With The Rev. Canon Dr. Stephanie Spellers and The Rev. Jay Sidebotham serving as keynoters for its Christian formation event, Kanuga begins its transition from virtual to in-person events this summer.

The Rev. Canon Dr. Stephanie Spellers serves as Presiding Bishop Michael Curry’s Canon for Evangelism, Reconciliation and Creation Care. A well-known author, her latest book, “The Church Cracked Open: Disruption, Decline, and New Hope for Beloved Community,” was released this month by Church Publishing. Curry says, “This book will make a profound difference for the church in this moment in history.”

The Rev. Jay Sidebotham is director of RenewalWorks, a ministry of Forward Movement, and Associate Rector at St. James, Madison Avenue in New York. RenewalWorks seeks to build cultures of discipleship in Episcopal congregations, with a singular focus on spiritual growth among congregants. He has served parishes in Washington, DC, NYC, Illinois and North Carolina. A graduate of Trinity College and Union Theological Seminary, prior to seminary study, he worked in New York in animation, illustration and advertising. He appreciates the opportunity to produce cartoons for the wider church, describing the joys and challenges of parish ministry.

While some presenters will conduct sessions virtually, the majority, including both Spellers and Sidebotham, will be at Kanuga for the event. We want to “show everyone what a safe, socially distanced, nourishing time in the spirit can look and feel like,” says Spellers.

Kanuga Christian Formation, created in 1928, will be the first event held in-person since Kanuga suspended operations for several months in 2020.

“It’s been an incredibly hard year. We are enthusiastic and joyful to be able to begin anew, and to once again serve as a holy ground for the sacred connections between each other and Creation,” says Executive VP for Mission Jimmy Haden.

The theme for the gathering, “Light on the Path,” reflects the difficulties of the past year as well as hope for the future. Cookie Cantwell, event coordinator, says that her team of volunteers is working hard to provide an experience that will help participants navigate the challenges and joys of life, formation, and ministry. “There are lights in our lives that show us the way, and we need those lights so we can follow Christ and be the people of God that God wants us to be.”

“The gathering will allow time for conversations as we consider the path that we have traveled during the past twelve months. There will be time for worship, spiritual growth, reflection, imagining, dreaming and mapping our future with the hope of endless possibilities. The paths that we will travel together will share the light of hope, opportunities, awareness, laughter, joy, and friendships,” Cantwell says.

Kanuga Christian Formation is open to all who want to learn and to gather with old friends and new, both lay and ordained.

For a full list of presenters, program snapshot, schedule, registration, rates, and lodging information, visit Kanuga.org/Conferences. Registration is open through May 24.

“The Lead: A Beginning Revelation in the Daily Inspirations in Search of Peace and Serenity”: a potent asset to those who seek recovery. “The Lead: A Beginning Revelation in the Daily Inspirations in Search of Peace and Serenity” is the creation of published author, RMA, a dedicated recovering alcoholic, veteran, and retiree from the engineering field.

The Lead: Daily Inspirations in Search of Peace and Serenity is essential reading for those who are just starting out in an alcohol recovery plan. It presents a substantial, unsparing, and deeply moving account of the day-by-day, meeting-by-meeting, step-by-step recovery of an alcoholic as he finds his way through the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.

RMA’s journey is also excellent inspiration for those living the twelve steps and seeking to awaken their past experiences as they recover from the trauma of addiction.

While there have been many books written over the years on recovery and the search for peace and serenity, The Lead is significantly different in that the author included dialogues from actual AA meetings (including the responses of group members–all anonymous, of course), fresh material for daily meditation, and a sensitive story about one man’s recovery, detailing real-life use of all twelve steps in the AA program.

Now a recovering, sober alcoholic, RMA provides an invaluable source of reference and review for all those who have been through the steps and are searching for solutions or spiritual renewal.

Following AA tradition, the author, a member of an AA group in Cincinnati, Ohio, will remain anonymous.

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, RMA’s new book is a great resource for any individual who is seeking help with addiction to alcohol.

Following the traditional 12-step approach, this title provides an opportunity for reflection as a vital, daily portion of overcoming alcoholism.
