“Bread and the Bible” 

The Very Rev. Dr. Andrew McGowan, former Dean of Berkely Divinity School at Yale. 

Every week Episcopalians celebrate a ritual in memory of Jesus using bread and wine. But what meaning did bread have in the ancient Mediterranean setting where Jesus ate and shared food with his disciples and others? What can bread tell us about the nature of his ministry or about the character of Christian community? Andrew McGowan, a scholar of early Christian ritual and meals, shares insights, including recent archaeological discoveries, that help us understand what the bread of the earliest Eucharists may have been like and what it meant to the participants.

“The Lord’s Prayer: the Ultimate Way of Connecting with God” 

Join our Rector in Lent as we spend four evenings learning about this profound prayer and the impact that it has had on our faith. Each night will begin with wine and the Lord’s Prayer.

Jesus’ disciples knew that there was something different about him. They sensed he had special powers, and they wanted to know more about where these mysterious powers came from. So, they asked him, “Lord, teach us how to pray.” Jesus taught them a short prayer (55 words when translated into English) that is simply known as “the Lord’s Prayer.” It is the most famous prayer in history, and it reveals volumes about the inner life of Jesus, his relationship with God, and our calling as Christians.  

$80 per person for the series includes a full meal with wine, followed by a 20 min talk.
