A Place to Call Home

Here it is ladies, our new blog! Hopefully this can be a place where we can interact with one another between conference calls. Let's play around with it and see if it works for us. If not, we can stick to email. I was thinking that since the reading is fairly long that we need to cover in the next two months, that it might be easiest if we break it down into smaller segments that I will assign for each week. This can also help keep us accountable to our reading. In Santucci's study guide, the "Christ Plays in Creation" section is broken up into four parts. We will discuss the first two parts (Session 3 & 4) on our first conference call on Thursday, March 22nd at 1:30 p.m. Central Time.

I will send out an email reminder each week (hopefully!) of our reading and to check the blog. It would be great if we could all post at least one comment for that week of reading. If this gets too overwhelming or you don't like weekly reading assignments, we can change it as we go along. This is simply just a tool to help us stay connected. So, here are the weekly readings:

• Thursday, Feb. 22nd -- (Exploring the Neighborhood of Creation, Kerygma, Threat: Gnostism), p. 51-61
• Thursday, March 1 -- (Grounding the Text 1: Genesis 1-2, Creation Now, The Creation Gift of Time), p. 62-71
• Thursday, March 8 -- (The Creation Gift of Place), p. 71-84
• Thursday, March 15 -- (Grounding Text 2: St. John), p. 85-89
• Thursday, March 22* -- (Ego Eimi, ), p. 89-91 *Conference Call Discussion using Santucci p. 12-20 (Sessions 3 & 4)
• Thursday, March 29 -- (The Signs), p. 92-99
• Thursday, April 12 -- (The Glory), p. 99-108
• Thursday, April 19 -- (Cultivating Fear-of-the-Lord in Creation, Sabbath), p. 108-118
• Thursday, April 26* -- (Wonder), p. 119-129 *Conference Call Discussion using Santucci p. 21-30 (Sessions 5 & 6)

The dates listed above are when you should have that week's reading finished and hopefully have posted a comment on the blog. Again, if this gets too structured, we can change or scrap this blog idea altogether. Happy reading!
