Agenda for December 4 & 7th Cohort Meetings
HOMEWORK: Create a short curriculum with lesson plans for a small group using the contemplative method of reading scripture that we learned. Ideas: an Advent or Lenten series; a series on Parables; a topic such as forgiveness or compassion; for pastoral care such as for grief or conflict. We will share our curricula with each other at the next meeting.
Homework: Read this short reading on using an Ignatian method for engaging scripture. We will practice this in the next class together and then practice it individually at home over the Christmas break.
Hour One: Theological Reflection
Hour Two: Reading Scripture Imaginatively
