Finding the Lessons

I try to post well in advance of the upcoming Sunday.

You will want to scroll down to find the bible study for the lessons closest to the upcoming Sunday.

The blog will be labeled with proper, liturgical date, and calendar date.

You can open the monthly calendar to the left and find the readings in order.

You can also search below by entering the liturgical date, scripture, or proper. This will pull up all previous posts.

Enjoy.

Disciplines of Hope: Generating Faith in the Future for an Anxious Age


Below is a taste of the new book, which explores deeply the themes coming out of our latest forecasts. In such a troubling time, positive futures will be so important.
