Christian Wisdom:: The End Of The Journey - Finishing Up The Remaining Logia!
​
Tuesday April 12, 2022 - Tuesday May 31, 2022, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.

​Offered OVER Zoom!

The Gospel of Thomas is one of the sacred books of early Christianity. It solely contains the Wisdom Sayings (Logia) of Jesus. These are similar to the parables of Jesus found in the New Testament Canonical Gospels. The Program will focus on a small group continuing to cover the final Logia from Gospel of Thomas as a completion of our two-year study!

​Each week of this program will feature a facilitated exploration focused on the Gospel of Thomas Logia (Sayings). We'll utilize a Lectio Divina style to allow the group's Wisdom to flow in order to unpack the deeper meaning inherent in each Logion considered.

To further enhance private exploration and understanding, other translations of the Logia will be provided after each meeting. In addition, commentary from a variety of sources will be shared to enhance the meaning of the Logia uncovered by the group. Each member of the group is encouraged to spend time with the Logia we discuss and the additional resources provided between meetings so that their deeper and transformative meaning might be further revealed to them. 


Because Wisdom work is inspired by the Spirit, each session will being with a 20-minute period of Centering Prayer to ground and open all participants to the workings of the Spirit.

We will be using the translations found in "The Luminous Gospels" by Lynn C. Bauman as our primary Gospel of Thomas source. 

The size of the group is limited to 14 participants how have been with the group during parts of this study to ensure that we cover the remaining Logia during the 8 weeks and that there is ability for all to share. All sessions will be conducted over Zoom.

The suggested offering for this program is $75 for this ten-session series. 

The group is currently full. However you may express your interest for future sessions below:
