Our long-time colleague and Alcyon faculty member Piers Kaniuka will be giving our first annual summer talk. His seminary training, research and experience in addiction/recovery, and prison work give him a perspective that opens the conversation deeply and widely—helping us understand the challenging forces at work in our times and the response we might make to be part of the healing. I don't know of anyone who is braiding all the themes together as he does—it's a rare opportunity to hear him speak publicly, and to get a sense of what we mean by contemplative cultural research.   Services at the Partnership Parishes: Sunday, July 29 is the fifth Sunday Partnership Combined worship to be held at St. Saviour's Parish. There will be no other services this Sunday.   St. Andrew & St. John Sundays -- 8:00 a.m. Eucharist at St. Andrew by-the-Lake Sundays -- 10:00 a.m. Eucharist at St. John the Divine Tuesdays — 4:00 pm–Meditation Thursdays—12:00 noon—Saint of the day & Healing Prayer Eucharist  Church of Our Father Sundays—8:00 and 10:00 a.m.—Eucharist Wednesdays, 8:00 am—Eucharist.  St. Saviour's Sundays—7:30 and 10:00 a.m. Eucharist Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8:30am—Morning Prayer Wednesdays, 12:00 noon—Saint of the day & Healing Prayer Eucharist     Keep in your prayers this week: Stocky Smith, Dorothy Clunan, Anne DeGolyer, Jackie Mayhew, Betty Mitchell, Cody Van Heerden, Jim Risser, Scott Hatcher, Ray McDonald, Janet Meryweather, Bill and Barbara Loveland, Win Short, and Bob Theriault.         The Rev.
