Round two of Luke’s masterwork wends its way from Jerusalem (see especially Luke 24:47, 52 & Acts 1:4) to Rome (Acts 28 when Paul actually arrives there) with lots of side trips and a relatively large cast of characters and escapades on the way. Peter and Paul are the lead actors, with Barnabas in the chief supporting role. The Holy Spirit, already mentioned in Luke’s gospel more often than in the other gospels, shows up regularly in Acts as a kind of behind-the-scenes actor/director. Of all the books of the Bible, this is perhaps the most evocative of an adventure tale. Really, who doesn’t like chase scenes and picnics on a rooftop with lunch catered by God and miraculous prison-breaks?

All are welcome and encouraged to attend. For the Thursday night session you must register with Mother Lucy as space is limited owing to the rooms available. Please email: [email protected]
