Parish House (5th Floor) and via Zoom
Our Theologian in Residence, the Rev. Dr. Luigi Gioia continues a year-long course to dive into all the main areas of theology: Faith, Scripture, Tradition, God, Christ, Salvation, the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, and the Church – always with an eye to their relevance for spirituality and for everyday life.
We are justified to be puzzled whenever the ‘Trinity’ is mentioned. The word ‘Trinity’ is absent from Scripture, and whenever we hear explanations about it, they sound incomprehensible if not downright esoteric. And yet, every one of us was baptized “in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” – and since the name in Scripture is the person, this sentence means that we are “baptised, that is ‘plunged’ in the very life of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit”. We can safely leave talks, treatises, and controversies about the Trinity to theologians, but we cannot be part of whatever we do in church every Sunday other than thanks to the special relation with the persons of the Trinity that lies at the heart of our Christian identity.
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. For more information about our theology program, please contact Fr. Luigi Gioia, Theologian in Residence.
