Adult Education


Adult Religious Education Committee

The mission of the Adult Religious Education (ARE) Committee is to deepen our religious understanding and spiritual development, to cultivate and develop friendships, and to support and pass on the traditions of the Society of King’s Chapel.
​
Adult religious education takes a variety of formats, led by the minister, guests, or parishioners. Some events are for one evening or after church, some are classes with several sessions, and one is the annual weekend retreat at Glastonbury Abbey. Participants are asked to sign up for all events, as class size may be limited.

Lectio Divina

The senior minister leads a weekly meeting Thursdays during the day to practice Lectio Divina, a practice of reflection on Bible passages.

Tuesday Morning Meditation

An early Tuesday Morning Meditation group meets weekly in our beautiful Little Chapel at 64 Beacon St. to practice meditation.  All are welcome.

Theology on Tap

Our assistant minister leads a lively, informal discussion on the third Wednesday of each month on timely religious topics. 

Minns Lecture Series

A joint committee composed of representatives from King's Chapel and the First Church of Boston oversees the Minns Lectureship each year.  Acting on a bequest from Susan Minns, who attended King's Chapel,  in memory of her brother, Thomas, who was a member of First Church, the Minns Lectureship Committee calls for, discusses, selects and helps make public scholarly proposals from UU ministers for a series of lectures to be delivered each year.

​See minnslectures.org for more information.

Architecture Recap:
​King's Chapel in History

Long-time church leader and architect Todd Lee gave a talk after Morning Prayer about the architecture of King's Chapel. Todd described the architectural history, its famous architect Benjamin Harris, and the question of how some space comes to feel sacred. For a link to this excellent talk, CLICK HERE.

Sunday Forums at King's Chapel

In the spring of 2015, three Sunday Forums explored how King's Chapel became an independent, religiously tolerant church with strong Anglican and Christian Unitarian roots and continues these traditions in its fourth century.  

​Distinguished speakers spoke about the religious evolution of King's Chapel from the colonial to the modern era, offering commentary on the relevance of this legacy to contemporary religious life and spiritual authenticity. To watch or listen to the lectures, click here.
