“I believe in Jesus Christ…born of a virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate…”

-        The Apostle’s Creed

Rev. David Randall-Bodman continues his 8-week worship series based on Fr. Richard Rohr’s book, The Universal Christ: How a Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope for, and Believe.

In the 4th week of the series, the focus is on Chapters 8-10 “Doing and Saying”, “Things at Their Depth”, “The Feminine Incarnation” which is the beginning of Part 2 of the book “The Great Comma.” This section develops what and how the re-discovery of the Universal Christ applies to living out the Christian faith in a new way based on an ancient reality.

“If mothers were in charge of the world, it would be a very different place!”

Points to Ponder:

·        The Great Comma skips over Jesus’ life. What aspect of Jesus life or teaching has taken root in you? How does it influence your daily life?

·        Rohr uses the image of an escalator going up and going down to describe the Christian path. How might going down deepen your connection with the Universal Christ?

·        Sophia and Mary open up the feminine incarnation. How have you experienced the feminine incarnation in your own life? Mother Earth, Wisdom, Eternal Yes to God, Feminine Receptivity and Gift Giver?
