Hi everyone-
Here are some photos from our last meeting, when we began our conversation about the Gospel of John. We looked at the multiple layers of meaning in this gospel -- the way that we start out knowing who Jesus is -- "the Word made Flesh" and then meet him, as a human being. We'll be talking more this week about the human Jesus in this gospel and what we learn by reading these stories. Our focus (Monday October 17) will be on John 2:1-11, and on what's going on with this story of changing water into wine. If you have the commentary, we're in chapter 2. Think about a wedding you've attended (or planned!) recently. What was necessary to make the event go forward smoothly? Were there glitches? Thinking about your own experiences of a "wedding feast" may help bring this story down to earth, even as we also look at it on a symbolic level. There's a lot here!
