Loneliness loves company! If you or someone you know is lonely, consider this: Was it out of loneliness that God created humankind in God\u2019s own image? Were Adam and Eve lonely for Eden after their abrupt eviction? Surely, they were lonely for their child, Abel. Is there a lonelier image than Jesus on the cross saying, \u201cWhy have you forsaken me?<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_text=”Watch the Webinar” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#E09900″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” button_url=”https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_7K-NWEoTStSvZb8njz69CA#\/registration” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Webinar Description” _builder_version=”4.26.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”About the Webinar” _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ title_font=”–et_global_heading_font|600|||||||” title_text_color=”#E09900″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”–et_global_body_font||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Loneliness has been declared an epidemic in America, so we are the company of millions! And yet\u2026 loneliness is still stigmatized and seldom mentioned in the pulpit and the pew. Many people suffer needlessly and alone. <\/span><\/p>\n This webinar offers ways to explore loneliness as a portal to transformation. We will, of course, explore loneliness within ourselves and our congregations; but we will also explore taking \u201cLoneliness Field Trips\u201d to museums, theatres, and restaurants. We will contemplate \u201cThe Loneliest Songs in the World\u201d together and discuss their authors and the beauty of their creation. Though often a serious matter, exploring loneliness can also be creative and a lot of fun. This webinar will enable you to address a vital and relevant need in your own life and congregation as we engage with kindred spirits. It offers specific ways of embracing loneliness as a path to self-actualization, social outreach, and community-creating. And that is good news!<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”About the Presenter” _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ title_font=”–et_global_heading_font|600|||||||” title_text_color=”#E09900″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_image _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”–et_global_body_font||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ custom_padding=”||49px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Dwight Lee Wolter is the author of the newly released, \u201cThe Gospel of Loneliness\u201d (The Pilgrim Press).
