Hebrew Poetry Study Group
The study group begins Tuesday January 13th with an introductory session which will cover the unique themes and structure of Hebrew poetry. We will compare prose and poetic accounts of the Exodus narrative and examine how poetry is used to fulfill a specific purpose and intent in the Old Testament. Click for more info an a Zoom link.
Book Study - Encampment
This short book tells the story of the encampment that grew up around our neighbouring parish of St. Stephen-in-the-Fields and how Mtr. Maggie and the church community advocated, bore witness, ministered to, and worshipped alongside a group of people who, finding nowhere else to go, sought refuge in their church yard.
