Shadow of the Cross
Posted by tom | Feb 23, 2007Just returned from 'da Burgh. I had the opportunity to participate in Church of the Ascension's Ash Wednesday service. While receiving the imposition of the ashes, I was filled with Joy. Not how we're supposed to start Lent, but God may be calling me to give up brooding. That will be new one!
Not sure how this will affect my Adult Education Class:
In the Shadow of the Cross: Reflections on daily life through the window of Lent, the Cross, the Resurrection, and the Kingdom of God . In addition to walking through the Lenten guide provided by our local congregation, we will meditate upon and discuss several pieces by N.T. (Tom) Wright. We'll dedicate a significant number of weeks to viewing, discussing in small groups, and praying responsively to the material presented in his DVDs on Evil and Resurrection, based on Wright's book Evil and the Justice of God (note: earlier post on Evil and the Justice of God).
As I posted on Peter and Becky's blog (note: praise God for passports and the opportunity to be with your children in 24 days), I'm looking for input regarding good material to incorporate into the class (note: beginning on March 4). If you have suggestions post here or email me. This week I'll move in the direction of the new class by wrapping-up Questioning Evangelism with a look at the Parable of the Lost Sons. Visit Finding the Lost for some material I'll be using. More will be posted when Eden gives me the opportunity
