This hybrid class is part of a course entitled “I have called you friends”: Glimpses Into God’s Ways and is taught by the Rev. Dr. Luigi Gioia, Associate for Adult Formation.
In this series of exercises in Narrative Theology we will learn that the best way to know God is paying attention to his “ways”, that is to how he behaves with those whom he calls his friends. God is invisible and mysterious and yet becomes an open book. Tales of encounter, dialogue, intrigue, conflict, and appeasement between God and his friends brim with glimpses into his personality, passion, charm, playfulness, and soft spots.
The Rev. Dr. Luigi Gioia, Associate for Adult Education and Formation, lead this session. Contact Fr. Gioia for more information about Theology at Saint Thomas.
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.
