What if, some Sunday, instead of thoughtlessly, habitually saying "Thanks be to God" or "Praise to you Lord Christ" after a reading, we would instead just sit quietly for a time and allow the words to fully penetrate our consciousness.
And when we could not bear it any longer, what if we would turn to each other and say what we actually, deeply feel in response. I can imagine hearing/saying things like, "OMG, did you hear that?" "Wow, what if Jesus actually meant that?" "Holy smokes, I can't imagine a world like that."
Canterbury@ULM continues "embracing the prophets" with the help of Walter Brueggemann. We'll meet tomorrow (Friday, 2/20) at 11:45 a.m. in Walker 1-113.
We will follow our traditional Lenten discipline of fasting. Pick up a beverage and bring it with you if you want and I will have some small Lent-appropriate snacks of some kind in case anyone really needs to munch a bit.
