21-older event

Wisdom and Wine is an adult faith formation event that allows adults to come together in a relaxed atmosphere for social time and spiritual development. Attendees are invited to participate in engaging discussion following the presentation on a current Catholic topic. We begin the evening with a Fair Trade Wine Discussion and wine pours. Appetizers, desserts, fair trade dips, coffee served.

     Wine growers in developing countries can now rely on stable incomes

to provide for their families, pay workers fairly, and provide working

environments that are safe and free from child labor, forced overtime and

harassment. We will begin the night discussing this topic and sharing four

different Fair Trade and certified, sustainable wines from South Africa,

Chile and New Zealand.

     Jeanne Bishop is a lawyer, law reform activist and author whose sister

Nancy Bishop Langert, along with Nancy's husband RIchard and their

unborn baby, was murdered by a juvenile in 1990. Since the murders of

her family members, Jeanne Bishop has been a passionate advocate for

abolition of the death penalty, forgiveness and mercy in the criminal justice

system. She is the author of a memoir, Change of Heart: Justice, Mercy and

Making Peace with My Sister's Killer (Westminster John Knox 2015), and a

forthcoming book about forgiveness between two fathers set against the

backdrop of the Oklahoma City bombing.
