John Rutter: Requiem with The Motet Choir and House of Hope Chamber Orchestra
Requiem was written in 1985 and first performed in October of that year. Following the precedent established by Brahms and Fauré, among others, it is not strictly a setting of the Requiem Mass as laid down in Catholic liturgy, but instead is made up of a personal selection of texts, some taken from the Requiem Mass and some from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. The seven sections of the work form an arch-like meditation on the themes of life and death: the first and last movements (Requiem aeternam and Lux aeternam) are prayers on behalf of all humanity, movements 2 and 3 (Out of the deep and The Lord is my shepherd) are Psalms, 3 and 5 (Pie Jesu and Agnus Dei) are personal prayers to Christ, and the central Sanctus is an affirmation of divine glory.
– Program note for Requiem by John Rutter

One of the leading theological voices on how our Christian faith should shape our understanding of money, finance, and work will be speaking to us during our Stewardship Sunday luncheon on November 16. Kathryn Tanner is the Frederick Marquand Professor of Divinity and Professor of Religious Studies at Yale University where her research relates the history of Christian thought to contemporary issues of theological concern using social, cultural, and feminist theory. She is the author of a number of books, including the excellent Christianity and the New Spirit of Capitalism, which discusses the moral, social, and theological concerns with present-day finance-dominated capitalism and how Christian theology offers better alternatives. Senior Pastor Scott Jones invited Dr. Tanner to help us ground conversation about HOH’s finances in our theological commitments.
A light lunch will be provided. Donations are appreciated to help us offset expenses. The suggested donation is $20 per adult, or donate what you’re able.
