Every Tuesday evening we gather on zoom to reflect on the lectionary gospel reading for the coming Sunday. Please get in touch if you would like to join us.

This week we look at Luke 6:39-45

Questions for Reflection

1. How useful is common wisdom? Does presenting in short pithy stories/phrases make it more accessible/memorable? Why is there so much of this in the bible (A whole book of proverbs!)

2. How to engage with the tension of good fruit from a bad tree … or bad fruit from a good tree? When to boycott? When to celebrate? How can we participate in the redemptive movement from one to the other?

3. You reaction to the poem? It is the ponderings of someone who is physically blind but spiritually free. How about someone who is spiritually blind? Could that compel the same sort of graces?
