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.
Often theology has a tendency to think abstractly about the realities of our faith. So with Jesus, as we have seen last week: did he have a soul, a mind, a will? How did his humanity interact with his divinity, and so on. These debates were crucial and yet sometimes they did not pay enough attention to what it actually meant for Jesus to be human, be a child, grow, learn, have friends, be afraid and joyful, anxious and hopeful. Our next talk will look more closely at some of these aspects of Jesus’ life and understand how deeply he did become one of us.
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.
