SUMMARY:Gospel Reflection Hour-virtual
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in joining a Bible Study? St. Stephen’s offers a weekly session that requires no homework or ongoing obligation. Just bring your inquiring mind and an interest in reflecting upon the Gospel lesson for the upcoming Sunday. \nZoila Schoenbrun starts us off by reading the week’s Collect and Gospel lesson\, followed by time for personal reflection and ending with time for us to share our reactions\, questions\, and other thoughts. Kyle talked about this approach during our Lenten story-telling series – it is more than understanding the text intellectually\, it is about making the words of scripture relevant to our own lives. \nA group of 4 – 6 of us gets together at 8:30 am on Wednesday mornings via Zoom. \nPlease give it a try!  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83156288483

SUMMARY:Adult Forum: Read the Bible Like a Mystic
DESCRIPTION:Heather Findley will lead the discussion on Carl McColman’s book\, Read the Bible Like a Mystic.  McColman suggests four interpretive ways of reading Scripture: the literalist approach\, an agnostic or atheist approach\, the historical-critical approach\, and the mystical approach based on “the writings and teachings of Christian writers and thought leaders we have called mystics.” This should be an interesting counterpoint to the October discussion.

SUMMARY:Gospel Reflection Hour-virtual
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in joining a Bible Study? St. Stephen’s offers a weekly session that requires no homework or ongoing obligation. Just bring your inquiring mind and an interest in reflecting upon the Gospel lesson for the upcoming Sunday. \nZoila Schoenbrun starts us off by reading the week’s Collect and Gospel lesson\, followed by time for personal reflection and ending with time for us to share our reactions\, questions\, and other thoughts. Kyle talked about this approach during our Lenten story-telling series – it is more than understanding the text intellectually\, it is about making the words of scripture relevant to our own lives. \nA group of 4 – 6 of us gets together at 8:30 am on Wednesday mornings via Zoom. \nPlease give it a try!  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83156288483
