Lenten Series on Sunday Mornings: Preparing for Resurrection

During Lent, we will hold an Adult Formation series on resurrection, using Rowan Williams book Resurrection: Interpreting the Easter Gospel as our primary text. Although this might seem very Easter-centric for a Lenten series, Williams book is as much about the passion as it is about the resurrection. Williams frames his book as a series of “imaginative approaches to the question of what it meant and means to say that Jesus who was deserted and executed is alive with God and also present to his followers.”

We’ll meet from 9:30 – 10:15 each Sunday in Hobson Hall, and follow this schedule:

February 18: The Judgement of Judgement

February 25: Memory & Hope

March 3: Communities of Resurrection

March 10: Talking to a Stranger

March 17: The Risen Body

If you would like to read the book, you can order a copy online. We recommend Thrift Books. Click here to order from them. But if you don’t have time to read the book, don’t worry about it. You can come and encounter the book’s ideas in the conversation.
