The Cathedral Series: Sacred Art in the Chapel, Presented by Edwin Carter Weitz
Wed, Oct 1, 6:15-7:15pm, Chapel

First-Plymouth is honored to welcome The Cathedral Series, a powerful new collection of sacred art by Nebraska painter Edwin Carter Weitz, now on load to our chapel. These six monumental works — each six feet tall — draw inspiration from 13th-century stained glass and the late Byzantine tradition. With vivid color, bold abstraction, and sacred symbolism, the paintings invite worshippers into reflection, communion, and a sense of divine light.

As part of this installation, the artist himself will join us for an art talk, sharing the spiritual vision, influences, and creative process behind the series. This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from the painter and engage with the sacred imagination that shaped these luminous works. Questions? Contact Addie.

Yoga
Wednesdays, 6:15-7:15pm, Chapel. (Will not meet Oct 1)

Fascism and Religion
Oct 8, 15, 22, 29, 6:15-7:15pm, Pilgrim Hall. Led by Dr. Jonathan Redding, NWU

This session explores how fascist movements co-opt and weaponize religion to advance their political agendas. We’ll examine which religious groups align with authoritarian leaders and why, and how these alliances reshape faith traditions into tools of the state. We’ll also look at resistance movements—such as the Confessing Church in Nazi Germany—that sought to preserve the integrity and soul of their faith in the face of oppression. Questions? Contact Addie.

Oct 8, 6:15-7:15pm, Art Room. Led by Dr. Jim Keck

It’s part book talk, part conversation, and always full of insights that might just inspire your own next read. Questions? Contact Addie.
