I am debating about what to offer during the next six or seven weeks of our adult Sunday school class, beginning Palm Sunday: March 16. One idea is to offer a quick walk through of the first 1000 years of church history, using the seven ecumenical councils as benchmarks and doing a little theology along the way. Another idea is to explore the richness of the Christian prayer tradition: from the Jesus prayer to Lectio Divina to Ignatian Contemplation to praying with children. I have a few other ideas on the deck as well.
Now I would like to open it up to you, my readers, for suggestions. You can post ideas using the "comments" link below. They may take some time to appear, however, since they are moderated. Feel free also to suggest ideas for a Wednesday night year-long Bible study beginning in the fall.
Use the curriculum on Lutheranism in North America you've already designed because you took Havens' class.
ReplyDeleteChurch history is a lovely idea, but I'm a sucker for good Bible study...just sitting down and reading through the lessons appointed for the week ahead. We want so much to teach theology, but our folks don't (more the most part) even know the source material. Better to start there.
