Discussion for Monday 28th September

Hello Everyone, Our next meeting will be on Monday 28th September at 6.30 pm, when we will look at Elijah & the ‘Still, Small Voice’ found in  1 Kings Chapter 19

‘The still, small voice’ is one of the most widely heard quotes from the Hebrew scripture but the story of the prophet Elijah’s mysterious pilgrimage to his encounter with this voice, is perhaps less well known. Rather like Jacob wrestling with the angel, it seems like one of those moments in scripture when the narrative pressure falls away, and we find ourselves opening a little door into another dimension of being – mysterious; tantalisingly just out of reach of the rational, yet vividly alive with the energy of the timeless moment. How does it speak to you? Is it a new revelation about God’s nature; a mythic tale of the soul’s path through life’s travails; or an ancient portrayal of a mid-life crisis or even a nervous breakdown? If you’ve got time, check out the great Sacrifice Stand-off in chapter 18, that precipitates Elijah’s strange journey to Mount Horeb- those Hebrew prophets really knew how to out on a good show!                                                                                         

Time: Sep 28, 2020 06:30pm-7.30pm
