Introduction to Adoration at Prairiewoods
<p>Eucharistic Adoration is a door that we can walk through to a lifestyle of deeper awe, empathy and service. In this hour via Zoom, Sarah Hennessy, FSPA, will join us from St. Rose Convent in La Crosse, Wisconsin, where the tradition of 24/7 Eucharistic adoration has been kept alive for over 140 years. With her, we'll survey a basic history and a contemporary view of adoration, consider tips for adoration and discuss ways adoration can change our lives. We will see why being in the presence leads us to living adoration as loving presence. Sister Sarah is a Franciscan Sister of Perpetual Adoration based in La Crosse, where she currently ministers as a spiritual director at Franciscan Spirituality Center. A free-will offering sent to Prairiewoods will be gratefully appreciated. Please register to receive the Zoom link. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2020-02-08 14:00:00 -0600

Virtual Thursday Forum: Apocalypticism
<p dir="ltr">“This Thursday Forum will examine some of the central pieces of apocalyptic literature in Judaism and Christianity. We will see how throughout history, apocalyptic groups emerge during times of real or perceived oppression, injustice, or instability. These groups have produced literature of varied forms, which reveals the way they understood history and their place in it. By examining such texts and movements, we will be able to appreciate the rich and nuanced ways humans have attempted to place themselves in a larger and meaningful cosmic plan, and interpret contemporary events as predicted and planned by the divine. In our first session, we will discuss one of the earliest pieces of apocalyptic literature, the Book of Daniel. The second session will grapple with the book of Revelation and some of the ways it has been interpreted over time.</p><p>For more information about any aspect of Thursday Forum or to register, call 319.399.8523 or visit <a href="https://www.coe.edu/why-coe/events/thursday-forum">www.coe.edu/why-coe/events/thursday-forum</a><a href="http://www.coe.edu/why-coe/events/thursday-forum">.</a>”</p> 2020-09-24 23:56:00 -05009/24/2012:00 a.m.Coe CollegeCedar Rapids -

Even in Pandemic: Wisdom & Wonder from the Book of Nature at Prairiewoods
<p>During these past long months, and who knows how far forward into the future, we’ve all coiled more and more deeply into the narrow landscape of the world—especially the natural world—closest to wherever we’ve been sheltering in place. For many of us, the one holy tether amid these unforeseen constrictions has been our connection to the quietudes and rhythms of the heavens above and the stirrings of the earth that roots and surrounds us. In this short one-hour Zoom offering, facilitator Barbara Mahany will stir the conversation with a brief overview of the Book of Nature as a centuries-old theology, one drawn upon by mystics and monastics, scholars and poets. We will share a few particularly soulful passages, poems, and prayers to draw our attention more finely into the wisdoms and wonders—and saving graces—of Creation. We will discuss these wonders to evoke reflections, to dwell on the healing capacities of Nature and to prickle curiosities and yearnings for deeper contemplation and exploration therein. Among the possible poets and writers we’d draw from are Mary Oliver, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Pope Francis, Thomas Merton and Terry Tempest Williams. The cost of this one-hour Zoom discussion is $20. Please register to receive the Zoom link. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2020-08-27 11:00:00 -0500

Fall Faculty Series
<p>During the suffragist movement, white women were centered and central. During that same time period, Black men were calling for citizenship and voting rights. Where were the Black women? Black women were fighting on all fronts, none of which considered the Black woman’s space or place within those policies. In celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, we will shine a light on the invisible class: Black women and their organizing for citizenship and the right to vote.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MountMercyUniversity">Join via YouTube</a></p><p><em>Events are free and open to the MMU community only due to COVID-19 safety precautions.

Virtual Thursday Forum: The 1918 Influenza Pandemic
<p dir="ltr">A century ago, the world faced a global health crisis that in many ways parallels the present-day challenges we face during the COVID-19 pandemic. This Thursday Forum offers historical perspective and insights on the current public health crisis by providing an overview of the 1918 Spanish Influenza pandemic, which erupted amidst the already-significant suffering and destruction of World War I. This two-session forum will begin with an overview of the origins, diffusion, mitigation, and impacts of the 1918 influenza outbreak. We will look into how the disease developed and spread, examining the pandemic from a global perspective. The presentation will consider the medical understanding of the disease and attempts to counter it, as well as the social and cultural factors that determined its evolution and treatment. The second forum will examine how the outbreak played out in Cedar Rapids, comparing and contrasting the experience of students at Coe and townspeople in the area. Through use of historical archival and newspaper sources, we will recreate the situation in eastern Iowa and evaluate the impact that the war, gender, and class had on healthcare and survival. This examination will be tied together with a look into the life and legend of Helen Roberts, the only Coe student to die in the epidemic and who is now alleged to haunt Voorhees Hall.</p><p>The virtual event will be found at <a href="https://portal.stretchinternet.com/coeadmin/">https://portal.stretchinternet.com/coeadmin/</a></p> 2020-10-01 23:58:00 -050010/01/2012:00 a.m.Coe CollegeCedar Rapids -
