Week 7: Exodus, Mark, and the "Two Books of God"

Present:  S.C., J.K., B.L., L.L., J.M., S.R., S.S., S.T.

After dinner, worship, and reflection on the past week through an "on-board" question, we discussed the readings. 

A personal story brought us to many Scriptural analogs.  We brought the strands together in a collect for our closing worship:

Collect for Encounters with "the Other"

God of us all, who spoke to us in many different languages at Pentecost, give us faith and courage to approach the Other also created in Your image, so that we may recognize and accept both our differences and those qualities that unite us. To the glory of God.  Amen.  

Next week

We have already discussed week eight, so we'll skip ahead to week nine in the Reading and Reflection Guide (RRG).    Worship:  Sarah          Dinner: Jeff (Jane will not be with us)    TR:  Bill
