to join the Online Book Study.
Theology and Spirit Lessons - Images of Christ

"But who do you say that I am?"

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

This question asks not the lips or even the life of the believer-it asks the heart.
And only with the eyes of the heart can we see what is standing before us.
With our voices inspired by the heart's wisdom we begin to form a response.

Our response is not an answer, simply an attempt to put into words
The miracle of the vision we are being shown.

For 2008-2009, Theology and Spirit will contemplate the images of Christ in Creation, in Tradition and in Scripture. Our guides for this journey will be the following three texts, meetings on Friday mornings at St. James, or an on-line learning community.

September 2008 - December 2008
