Scharme brought pizza, and Erica led us in worship. We discussed opening essays in the Year One and Year Two books, both of them introducing many angles by which we can approach writings of a distant time and place. The second year book gives an overview of the ways ancient peoples viewed wealth and poverty, class, purity. Both books suggest that ancient ideas of "history" differ widely from ours. Susan will be sending us the succinct overview of ancient history from the old EfM "red books."
We parsed ways to approach the spiritual autobiographical questions we'll be answering next week.
Next week, we read Week Four assignments. Erica will bring food; Susan will lead worship.
