Conversations That Matter - Social and Political Aspects of Gun Violence

Trinity Episcopal Church is a Christ-centered community on a special journey.  We are a inviting and nurturing parish family that seeks energetic and spiritual ways to put faith to work in the world.At Trinity, we believe that flexibility in our community is an asset, not a liability, and so as we tell you who we are, we must begin by saying that we are a collection of worshippers who differ on a lot of issues.  But we come together to grow, to worship in the Anglican tradition, to learn more about the God revealed in scripture, and to follow Jesus who calls us to serve those in need.  We listen attentively to scripture.  We share the bread and wine of communion each Sunday and often during the week.  But the best way to learn about us is to come and see, to join us for worship, to take part in one of our programs, to be part of this giving community.Conversations that Matters is an initiative by Trinity to start discussions about important topics of the day.  Everyone wants to have conversations about things that matter. More than that, we believe one of the gifts communities of faith have to offer is a place to talk about the issues, concerns and passions which are on our hearts.Our mission:  Love God; Love Neighbor; Save the World

Trinity Episcopal Church - Wheaton, IL

Join us in a conversation on social and political aspects of gun violence and on language and images used in messages about gun violence.  There were close to 40,000 gun-related deaths in the United States, more than in all the other advanced, industrialized democracies of the world combined.  he debate about guns is one of the most pressing and divisive of our time. Addressing the capacity and potential for violence is imperative, and we need to find ways to do so with honesty and a shared sense of responsibility.  Dr. Steve Macek, Professor of Communication and Chair of the Department of Communication and Media Studies at North Central College and Dr. Stephen Maynard Caliendo, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Professor of Political Science at North Central College will facilitate this discussion.
