What We See We Value
The Book Group meets for the first time this Wednesday, after the 10.30am Ash Wednesday Eucharist. We will be looking at the Introduction and Chapter 1, 'What We See We Value'.
Archbishop Justin states in the introduction that this chapter:
'...deals with our inbuilt tendency to value what we see. We look at one of Jesus' most significant miracles, the account of the resurrection of Lazarus in John 11, and how it enables his sisters to see the world through God's eyes. It calls for reflection on what we look for, and how we know it when we see it. The pearl merchant was searching, and when he saw a pearl of great value he knew what it was, and what he needed to do in response. Are we able to become like him?'
We are given a number of questions in the chapter to think about and reflect on. Some of these relate to the communities that we are a part of and others to our daily lives.
Details of the Book Group can be found here. If you can't make the group in 'reality' please join us 'virtually' by keeping an eye on the blog and sharing your thoughts below.
