What happens
if we read
Jesus’ walk to the cross
in light of current realities?
Weaving together
scriptural story,
Palestinian liturgy,
and Lenten self-reflection,
this journey to the cross
will deeply ground us
in the story of Jesus’ passion
as seen in today’s world.
This is a free study, generously funded by the Diocese of Toronto.
This study will be held on Sunday evenings:
Feb 22, March 1, 8, 15, 22, 29.
Bishop Andrew Asbil will join us every other week, on March 1, 15, and 29.
This study is for anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of the Bible and its relation to contemporary life. All are welcome, regardless of denominational or religious affiliation. No prior knowledge of the Bible is necessary.
Format and Requirements
Each session will run on zoom for two hours with a 5 minute break half-way through. Each session will include Bible Study, stories from current realities, particularly in Palestine but also our wider context, liturgy, and questions for Lenten reflection. Participants will also be able to post questions and points for discussion in the chat. Powerpoint will be used periodically to show biblical texts, liturgy, and illustrations.
Each session will be recorded and the link will be sent out to all participants. Registrants can also follow the entire study through the recordings.
There are no assignments and no required reading for this study, although suggestions for further reading will be made as the study progresses.
