Theology Webcast for the Week of March 19, 2023

A video of the 10 a.m. theology class from Sunday March 19 is available above and on our YouTube channel.

The Rev. Dr. Luigi Gioia

This class is part of a larger Lenten book study of “Say it to God: In Search Of Prayer” by our Associate for Adult Education and Formation Fr. Luigi Gioia. In the book, Fr. Gioia provides a welcome encouragement to all those who feel the need to freshen their practice of prayer. For Fr. Gioia, prayer is not about methods or techniques, but trusting that God is truly interested in everything that happens to us and wants to hear about it.

The book leads the reader into the theological aspects of prayer and how it relates to Christ, to the Holy Spirit and to the Church. This is done without using complex theological concepts but simply through scriptural quotations. Chapters are kept brief intentionally to make the book suitable for daily reading over the Lenten period.

With a foreword by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Say it to God demonstrates that the everyday, even the most mundane of tasks and situations, can be applied in deepening our practice of prayer.

The Adult Education program at Saint Thomas Church offers sound Christian teaching presented with intellectual vigor, teaching that is grounded in Holy Scripture, mediated by the catholic tradition that is the inheritance of Anglicanism and set forth in the Book of Common Prayer.
