Book Study for Advent
Sundays 10:00 AM, beginning November 29, The Parlor
The Reverend John Jenkins will offer a book study during Advent at Saint Paul's. We will join with Episcopalians across the Diocese in reading
Rowan William's Being Christian. The class will be offered Sunday mornings at 10:00 in the Parlor. For more information contact
J
John Jenkins.
One Book One Diocese
This Advent, you are encouraged to join with Episcopalians across the Diocese in reading Rowan William's Being Christian. This work, written by former Archbishop
of Cant
erbury Rowan Williams, is based on talks given at Canterbury Cathedral as
part of a se
ries of open lectures in 2013. In it, he shares insights into
baptism, Eucharist, reading the
Bible, and praying. While the work is brief, the view Williams'
offers is deeply Anglican, immanently accessible, and bracingly prof
ound.
Participate On-line
While congregations are encouraged to form study groups to share their thoughts face to face each week in Advent, you can also participate with the rest of the Diocese o
nline. First, each week in Advent read the selected portion of the 96-page book or listen to the corresponding part of the 2 hour and 25 minute audio version. Then each Sunday in Advent, we will add a reflection on the section for the week to the website
1book1diocese.georgiaepiscopal.org
where you can also take part by adding your comments on that reflection as well as your thoughts on the questions Williams poses at the end of the chapter.
