The Ten Commandments—Formula for Liberation
This past Lent, for all four Thursdays in March, the Rev. Dr. Robert J. Owens, professor of Old Testament at the General Theological Seminary was our guest speaker. We had a soup supper at 6pm followed by the presentation at 6:30pm on the following topic: Despite Christianity’s call away from legalistic religion, it has always found a compelling moral and spiritual depth in the Ten Commandments. Jesus taught them, and they are quoted by various New Testament writers. This class will study the Ten in depth, discovering that what they meant in their original setting is not quite the same as what many modern readers think they mean. We will also explore how the church has made use of the Ten in its teaching and worship, as for example in the Penitential Order in the Book of Common Prayer.
Each year during the season of Lent, we gather on Thursdays for four evenings of lecture and discussion; Previous years' topics include "Cracking the DaVinci Code", "Understanding Islam", and "Creation, Evolution, and Belief". |
 On the first Wednesday of every month, the Reverend Jennifer Linman conducts a "Bible and Brewskis" study group in Epiphany's Garden Room, allowing participants to read the Bible lessons for the upcoming Sunday discussions over pints of beer or other beverages. BYOBrewski, but we provide the Bibles. Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. |
