What does an opera set during the French Revolutio

What does an opera set during the French Revolution, about a convent of cloistered nuns, have to say to the modern, secular world? Are there corrolaries between the late 18th Century and the early 21st? @opera_modo Executive Director Danielle Wright intentionally chose to stage Poulenc’s opera “Dialogues of the Carmelites” now, in this time and place, for the way in which it speaks to her. “The story of these nuns is the story of the dynamics of a patriarchy that seeks to impose its opinions about how women should act, and how they should be, and the revolt against that. This is about women feeling seen, being seen.” In the wake of #MeToo and so many other instances of women’s voices being silenced, this story remains relevant even now, nearly three centuries later. Come see it this Friday and Saturday nights right here at Christ Church.

So great to walk down Jefferson from Christ Church

So great to walk down Jefferson from Christ Church to the TCF Center for today’s #DDPAnnualMeeting2020. The @downtowndet BIZ Ambassadors and @detroit_police keep our #downtowndetroit so safe and beautiful. Each of the speakers was informative and inspiring. We’re all really grateful for the hard work and the growth that 2019 has brought, and are excited for even more in 2020!

Thrilled and proud to have witnessed and been a part of the consecration of the 11th bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan, the Right Reverend Bonnie A. Perry. Christ Church contributed to the music (choir, organ, conducting, and youth choir), the flowers (led by @richardthomas1365), the communion, the hospitality, the programs, the logistics, and more). What a day! The world is about to turn! #love #justice #episcopal #jesusmovement @pb_curry @theepiscopalchurch @episcopalmichigan 📷 @katriflin & @emilywilliamsguffey

This week is our 30th annual Shelter Week, when we have the honor of hosting overnight guests from @casscommunity. Church members, friends, and neighbors rally to provide coffee, breakfast, dinner, snacks, and bagged lunches, as well as activities and services such as hairdresser & barber visits, warm conversations, card games, and music, such as tonight’s evening prayer. Many volunteers are quick to say that this is one of the most sacred weeks of the year. Together, we are one community. #detroit #downtowndetroit #neighbors #neighborshelpingneighbors #love #service #food

Yesterday we blessed candles that will be used throughout the year: at baptisms, weddings, and funerals, on Easter and every feast of the resurrection, and throughout Advent. We exited in candlelight procession and pledged to keep shining light into the darkness of fear and injustice. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” #candlemas #candles #candlelight #liturgy #episcopal #02022020

It’s a #nonprofit that supports emerging artists by creating high-quality performance opportunities and reimagining classic repertoire in striking, relevant ways. “Dialogues” is about Carmelite nuns who uphold integrity even in the face of great opposition. #opera #detroitopera #michiganopera #singer #singerslife #music #detroitmusic #youngartists #vocalmusic #poulenc #dialoguesofthecarmelites #truth
