THE GOSPEL OF ST. MARK AS BELOVED SCRIPTURE
THE MERCY CENTER
AUBURN, CA
Six Saturdays in the Year 2023
10:30 am – 2:00 pm
In person and on Zoom
Please note: each program is a stand-alone program
The Beloved Scripture Practice recognizes in any given text, story, legend, myth, or expression of imagination a beautiful gift to the family of humankind. In this series, we will focus on select verses and episodes from the Gospel of St. Mark. We will ponder this First Gospel in light of the emerging practice of interfaith spirituality which we lovingly refer to as the Practice of Interpath Love and Respect. As Beloved Scripture, we ponder the contribution of St. Mark in light of the wisdom found in the heart of humankind and all the Cosmos. We do this humbly as we seek more and more to become people of uncompromising generosity and uncommon courage. The persons we encounter in St. Mark’s Gospel provide wonder examples of what it means to be a human person caught up in the wildness of life.
