Thorne Sparkman School of Religion 2025

The early followers of Jesus fashioned the season of Lent as an intentional time of spiritual practice and devotion to prepare for the Resurrection of Christ at Easter and the baptism of new believers.

Thorne Sparkman offers an opportunity to join Christians across time and space in renewing our commitment to growing in knowledge and love of God through learning, study, self-examination, and meditation on the Scriptures in a community devoted to excellence in scholarship and a lively faith for the good of all creation.

Registration for the School includes all five classes. Eucharist begins at 5:15 each evening, dinner will begin at 5:45 and will feature a vegetarian and meat option. Speakers will begin at 6:30.

Childcare available upon request when you register for the event.
