One of the great resources in our region is Chautauqua Institution. If you've never been there let me recommend it to you. Their (nearly complete) schedule for 2013 just arrived and there are several notables -
Week 2 (June 30- July 6) The afternoon lecture series (begins at 2 PM) will examine the future of faith for those currently under age 25. Included in the speakers list are:
Monday July 1 - Bishop Eugene Sutton, Episcopal Diocese of Maryland and
Friday July 5 - Shane Claiborne, Founding Partner of The Simple Way
(Both worth hearing but I'm really excited about Claiborne)
The chaplain for Week 5 (July 21-26) is The Rev. Tony Campolo who I have always found to be an interesting and challenging Evangelical thinker and author. He will lead the morning service all week but the chaplain's get highlighted on Sunday (7/21) at the 10:45 AM service.
The chaplain for Week 8 (August 11-16) is The Rt Rev John Chane Retired Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington (DC) Same deal as Campolo
There are many other great speakers, plays, symphonies, dances, operas and other amazing things going on at Chautauqua this summer. Check out the calendar HERE (this is not a paid endorsement of Chautauqua Institution. I will note that 3 generations of my family have worked there over the years. :) )
