AFF | Chewing Scripture: Proverbs and the Wisdom Tradition
Wednesday, May 23, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
On May 23 & May 30 at 7pm, join Rector Wren Blessing in reflection on, and discussion of, the book of Proverbs. Biblical scholar Ellen Davis writes, “the medieval monks spoke of ‘chewing’ scripture. They said that each word of the Bible is like a grain of spice: you need to hold it in your mouth until it yields its full savor. That is how the book of proverbs should be read.” (Ellen F. Davis. Getting Involved with God, pg. 92). During our time together, we will reflect on, discuss, and savor biblical proverbs on the ordinary art of living well. Drop into the Living Room to participate in one or both sessions. *Childcare and homework help provided by request: please RSVP to Valerie | [email protected] at least 24 hrs before the session.
