Study of themes

Saint Philip’s Women’s Bible Study group meets at 6:30pm every Wednesday for 60-90 minutes. Members discuss readings based on a theme, and the conversations are often assisted by a helpful book. (This is in contrast to the group that gathers on Tuesday mornings to consider the lectionary readings for the coming Sunday.)

The group is currently reading some of the parables with Amy-Jill Levine’s book Short Stories from Jesus.

Examples of the group’s focus the past two years include wisdom literature and stories from the Apocrypha (Judith, Esther, Tobias, Daniel, Susanna), parts of Isaiah with John Goldingay’s book Isaiah for Everyone, and the Gospel of John in Sarah Ruden’s new translation.

Meetings are currently held via Zoom. Interested? Curious? All are welcome! Contact parishioner Camille Salisbury at cbsalisbury@gmail.com to receive the Zoom link.
