Evening Prayer

St. Andrew & St. John Episcopal Church Southwest Harbor, Maine Evening Prayer St. Andrew and St. John Lay members will offer an outside Evening Prayer Service at St. John the Divine in Southwest Harbor on Thursday, September 17, at 4:00 PM. Hildegard of Bingen will be commemorated. Covid19 protocols are to be observed and reservations requested. Please call the office (244-3229). "Hildegard of Bingen had a special intimacy with the natural world. She was not attracted to the divine in its pure transcendence as are many of the mystics. Nor was she preoccupied with the human world directly in its psychological problems of integration or with the problems of social reconciliation….. "In an age when it is easy to feel the wrath of God, she would have us dare to feel God's pleasure. Living and dying 1000 years ago in lush and beautiful Bavaria, she was poetess, abbess, musician, artist, healer, scientist, theologian, prophet and mystic par excellence. " "The earth is mother of all that is natural, of all that is human." Copyright © 2020 St. Andrew & St. John Episcopal Church, All rights reserved.
