Vocation, from the Latin vocare, verb, “to call.” Called to what we might ask? In the spiritual journey it leads to the answering of the question, “For what purpose was I born?” And that is the question every one of us will spend our entire lives answering.
Join us as Sam Portaro introduces a fresh perspective on vocation and guides us more deeply into the lifelong journey of discernment in our vocations—listening for and honoring where and to what God is calling us. In love, in work, in relationship. As children, students, newly married, new parents, caregivers, empty-nesters, in career crisis, retirement, through illness, special needs, and in dying. Every stage in life offers blessed opportunities to be all that we were created to be. Conversation is the invitation and opportunity to share our stories. In and through the eyes of others we see ourselves as God sees us. In conversation we connect or re-connect with our most deeply held values, make inspiring and meaningful sense of all of God’s clues around us, and honor and respond to our evolving and ever-changing calling to an authentic life.Why am I here? It’s the big question of every life. Come explore it with us.
Sam Portaro was ordained in the Diocese of Western North Carolina and began his ministry as Vicar of Church of the Epiphany in Newton NC. He served as Episcopal Chaplain to William & Mary and
Associate Rector of Bruton Parish in Williamsburg from 1976–1982, and then enjoyed a long and rich career in campus ministry mentoring students and young adults, serving as Episcopal Chaplain to the University of Chicago and Director of Brent House for 22 years.Portaro is now a full-time consultant, speaker, and mentor for others working with vocation. His published work reflects his own vocational journey: Inquiring & Discerning Hearts: Vocation & Ministry with Young Adult on Campus, Crossing the Jordan: Meditations on Vocation, Conflict, A Christian Life, Sheer Christianity, and Transforming Vocation, a volume in the Transformations Series published by Church Publishing.
