This Sunday at The Table…

Greetings!  For those of you that haven’t been able to be part of the series we’re presently in, this post might seem a bit confusing.  Not to worry – we’ll review a bit each week, since this part of the journey covers terrain not all of us have thought about before.

This week, in less time than it takes to enjoy a decent lunch, we are going to unpack the history of the arm-wrestling match between Plato and Aristotle, and see how that has deeply impacted the typical story line through which Western Christianity has read the biblical narrative.  If that sounds a bit dull, well…you’ve obviously never seen a punch-up between two philosophers!  If I do my homework well enough, we’ll get just to the beginnings of the Hebrew story line, in which all God has made (including us) is called “good” and even “very good” – a much more invitational place for humans to live than one called “perfect”.  (I don’t know about you, but I find the idea of a good God working with me to make me “good” – which I desperately need! –  quite hopeful…)

Coffee is on -see you on Sunday!
