11th November 2020 – 11th February 2021
now the Bible very well, perhaps even reading it several times from cover to cover. As I considered, the first thing that came to my mind was to find a special perspective through which to approach the sacred text. And this you gave to me, when some of you told how many things you discovered in the walks you did during the isolation period.
Your stories reminded me of how the evangelist Luke responds to one of the Christians he knew very well and who wanted to know Jesus better. After making an “investigation” (Luke 1: 3), Luke offers that Christian (and us) a text like a story of a walk together for a lifetime, inviting that Christian to take the same walk.
Luke’s answer is simple: let us and Jesus walk together.
I have planned the Bible Study following the logic of a walk together, convinced that we would have time to talk a lot about how we see the world, Jesus and ourselves. So I invite you to come on this walking journey (unfortunately via Zoom), by registering on the form that you can find when leaving the church or by e-mail: bernardstmarycurate@gmail.com or by phone 01702 316844.
