Risk and Risk Tolerance
| | |
Ed Love PhD
| | |
Congratulations to Ed (and Brooke) Love on the completion of the doctorates at the
University of Washington!
Ed and Brooke have had a ministry with the youth of our parish for several years
now and they are preparing to move to Bellingham for their first academic positions
at the University of Western Washington. We will miss them dearly.
Ed will share some aspects of his doctoral research on risk and risk tolerance at
the forum June 1. This intriguing subject matter has a relevance not only in the
area of his study, economics, but also in many areas of our lives. This was
evident recently when he presented this topic at the "Alchemists'
Guild" of the Campus Ministries of the University of Washington. Don't
miss this fascinating forum. Come and wish Ed and Brooke God Speed as well for
their new life in Bellingham!

Sacred Attention:
Finding God in the Moment

Margaret McGee

Why is paying attention so hard to do? And what makes paying attention worth the
practice? Margaret McGee uses the practices of contemplation, appreciation, and
the sharing of real-life stories to show how even one moment of close attention can
be a prayer to God. This forum focuses on attention to talents, hidden and
otherwise.
