Program Details

To build bridges of understanding, we must take time to listen to the experiences of others.

Rolling Ridge launched "Voices and Stories" as a new ONLINE series that uses historical education and contemplative listening to open hearts and minds to the events that have shaped American society today.

With summer now upon us, we look at the history of Camp Meetings, often connected with the Second and Third Great Awakenings in New England during the 1800s, and consider how the evangelical spirit was born through those gatherings. In particular we will explore Methodist camp meetings and their impact on Methodism today, including the Wesleyan Covenant Association, with Rev. Tom Bentum sharing his story.

Join us on Thursday, August 19th from 11 am to 1 pm and consider the historic traditions and spirituality born out of John Wesley’s evangelistic fervor to ‘Save as many souls as you can’.

Although there is no fee for this program, your generous donation allows Rolling Ridge to continue our mission and ministry of contemplative spirituality. Thank you.
