The Thomas Alternative - A Different Christianity with The Gospel of Thomas
2018-09-28 19:30 - 2018-09-29 16:00 | Reception Hall
Register online HERE.

September 28–29, 2018
Tupelo, Mississippi
In 1945 a new gospel was discovered that would alter the way scholars look at gospels, the origins of Christianity, even Jesus himself. The new gospel was identified as the previously known but never found Gospel of Thomas. This Seminar introduces the Gospel of Thomas, examines its vision of Jesus, and asks how Thomas challenges our understanding of the historical Jesus and the story of Christian beginnings.

Program Details
Discovering the Fifth Gospel
Ruben Dupertuis and Stephen J. Patterson
In 1945 an Egyptian farmer made a startling discovery: a collection of ancient Christian texts, mostly lost, now found, including the remarkable Gospel of Thomas—the “fifth gospel.” What is the Gospel of Thomas? How was it discovered? Why has this discovery sent scholars scrambling for answers ever since? Rubén René Dupertuis and Stephen J. Patterson introduce you to the Gospel of Thomas.
Friday evening, 7:30–9 pm
Christianity Beyond the Canon
Rubén René Dupertuis
The familiar notion of the New Testament canon invites us to think of texts that are either “in or out,” “good or bad.” But the range of texts and materials we have from the first few centuries of early Christianity actually paint a picture that is more varied, fluid, and unsettled. In this session, Rubén René Dupertuis will help us contextualize the significance of texts like the Gospel of Thomas.
Saturday, 9:30–10:30 am
Plato’s Gospel: The Theology of the Gospel of Thomas
Stephen Patterson
The Gospel of Thomas has been called a “Gnostic” gospel, a “wisdom” gospel, the “original” gospel, and “heresy.” In this workshop Stephen Patterson clarifies what the Gospel of Thomas is and is not, how it works, and why it has caused so much controversy through the years.
Saturday, 11 am – noon
Question and Answers on Thomas and Christianity Beyond the Canon
Rubén René Dupertuis and Stephen J. Patterson
Patterson and Dupertuis answer your collected questions and lead a discussion of the significance of what you have heard so far.
Saturday, 1:30–2:30 pm
The Fifth Gospel Today: The Wisdom of Jesus Now
Rubén René Dupertuis and Stephen J. Patterson
What difference has the Gospel of Thomas made to the way scholars understand Jesus? Christian origins? Christianity in its first four centuries? Can this collection of sayings make any difference today? Patterson and Dupertuis will lead you in a discussion of the larger issues raised by their talks.
Saturday, 3–4 pm

After School Art Classes
2018-09-25 16:00 - 17:00
After School Art Classes
Sponsored by Party In The Art Room

Do you have a kiddo interested in after-school art lessons? I’m offering this for the 2018-2019 school year. Sign up anytime.
Here are the details:
$70/month or $280/semester fee includes all supplies and 3 Tuesday classes each month this fall from 4:00-5:00 at The Link Centre in Tupelo. There is a one-time $25 registration fee.
Limited spots available to keep class size manageable for individualized instruction.
This is a creative thinking class. Students will make their own creative decisions after learning about the elements of art and the principles of design. We will use high quality artist papers for the base of the majority of the projects. We will use an array of mediums and other materials to create with the papers. These will include materials that I use in creating my own artwork which are not common to an elementary art classroom. There will be a Memorandum of Understanding for parents to sign covering this concept.
We will have a public art show to celebrate the students and their work on November 27 from 4:00-5:00 (at the last class meeting) at the Link Centre. I will create a digital invite to send to family and friends.
A little about me: I am an award-winning art teacher with work published in Education Week, Arts and Activities Magazine, SchoolArts Magazine, Education Closet’s Arts Ed Lab, ASCD, and more. I am currently taking a break from teaching full-time, but I am already missing time with students. So, I’ve decided to do my very first after-school class.

An Abstract Journey
This particular set of paintings has placed me on a path that’s as unique as it is refreshing. For years I’ve struggled with abstraction in my Art. I’ve always been deeply connected to representational imagery, but a part of me has continued to want to dive into nonrepresentational work. Each attempt ended in one form of failure or another until I had an idea.
I decided to try to blend the two. This new adventure sent me around the city as I looked for interesting subjects in their natural environments. It might be the bark of a tree, blades of grass, or paint weathered by the sun. I’d walk, observe, and wait. Waiting until something demanded to be seen, and when it spoke up I’d snap a photo. Back in my studio, at the Link Centre, I’d load the images onto my laptop and zoom in as far as I could. Basically, I was cheating. I got to hold onto my love of representational form, meaning something that is an actual object I can look at in front of me. At the same time, I was able to zoom in so far that it began to look like a collection of abstract shapes.
It’s very simple but it was a tiny breakthrough after years of struggling. These pieces are a result of that journey. I’m fond of them and the process, and I look forward to continuing the exploration between what’s there and what lies deeper.

Traditional Irish music contains within it the DNA of a culture, especially the older Irish music styles like the East Galway Irish Music Tradition. The notes that we use and the way we use those are more than mere transmitters of sound. They speak of traditions, ways of thinking, approaches to the world and an understanding of our place in it. And they give voice to the inchoate memories of those who came before us but have been rendered silent by time.

Enjoy a sample of Traditional Irish music:
