Rituals and Practices in the Life of the Church:
Renewing our Understandings
Adult Sunday School Series: March 17 – May 12, 2019
Vital and subtle lessons of the Christian faith are conveyed in the rituals, practices and gestures of the church. Their power lies in being ‘embodied’ – in the church’s refusal to separate mind, heart and body. Indeed, the practices of the church function as a prism, offering Christians a particular lens - the imagination of Christ - through which to view the world.
