Souls Together: A Monthly Gathering for Prayer and Conversation
2025-09-04 19:00 - 20:30 | Zoom
In these challenging and divisive times, how do we faithfully respond as Episcopalians? How do we best pray for our leaders and for the health of our nation? How do we live into the Baptismal Covenant in everyday life?
Join Bishop Scanlan and selected guests on the first Thursday of each month as we explore these questions. Participants will share prayer concerns, engage faith seeking understanding, explore their call to Gospel Justice, and build strength in Christian fellowship.
Each session will begin with an introduction of that month’s topic and guidelines for respectful engagement. This conversation is intended to be non-partisan, creating a safe space for dialogue across the breadth of understanding of issues in our world today.
Souls Together: A Monthly Gathering for Prayer and Conversation
First Thursdays, 7-8:30 p.m. via Zoom

And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:24-25)

On Sunday, September 21st from 11-3, Love Park (15th & JFK Parkway, Philadelphia) will be the site of a celebration of all things solar and an opportunity for people to make a statement to their legislators about the need for this clean, inexhaustible energy source.
Sun Day Philly is but one of hundreds of “Sun Day” events being held around the country: all free, family-friendly and open to the public. President Jimmy Carter established the first “Sun Day,” and the event’s purpose–to educate and engage the public on the need for the widespread adoption of solar energy–couldn’t be be more relevant to a planet on the brink. Highlights will include live music, solar-powered music, solar art projects (and teachers’ kits), solar model car races, face painting and more. Event sponsors are Third Act PA, Philadelphia Solar Energy Association and the Sierra Club.
Come one, come all for this celebration of God’s creation!
