Following post is direct copy of information written by Joanna:
We are now a quarter way through our programme and I would like to thank
everyone, speakers and participants alike, for making it so enjoyable
for me to organise.We began with a look at prayer - which is the
life-blood of our relationship
with God. A healthy spiritual life has a balance of prayer with others
and private prayer.
We then looked at Salvation History whereby the Jewish people came to
understand that they had a relationship with the One True God, and how
that understanding matured over the centuries, culminating in the birth
of the Messiah.
We then faced the central question - do we believe that the historic
figure, Jesus, is indeed truly God and man and did he rise from the
dead? If we accept that truth we can call ourselves Christians
And last week we saw how the Holy Spirit is central to understanding of God and to our ability to live the Christian life.
There is something I have been meaning to ask, but haven't yet...
Does anyone have any views on "inclusive language"? When talking about
God I try to avoid "He" but it can sometimes result in clumsy English.
However I do know that some people have strong views on this - so please
tell me what you think.
Meanwhile, if you are on holiday, enjoy the break, and I hope to see you all next week.
God Bless you all, Joanna
