SUMMARY:Preaching the Lectionary Gospel - a year with Luke
DESCRIPTION:At the start of Advent we will tip into year C – reflecting on\, studying and hearing from God through the Gospel according to Luke. As we follow the lectionary through the year\, we do so with the Anglican Communion\, many other denominations\, nations and people groups. It’s a wonderful thing! \nEach week another glimpse at the life and ministry of Christ\, treasures to ponder and wonder about. And before we begin\, here is a great opportunity to remind yourself\, or to study for the first time\, the whole narrative of Luke\, the context in which he was writing\, as he writes this\, his first contribution to our scriptures. \nOur colleagues from Cuddesdon\, Gloucester and Hereford Training will be leading us through this and it is promising to be a rich and inspiring time together. \nLed by: Revd Dr Richard Wyld\, Director\, Portsmouth Pathway Cuddesdon \nHaving taught on the Portsmouth Pathway for a couple of years before becoming Director in May 2020\, Richard joined the academic staff team based at Cuddesdon in July 2024. He teaches on a range of courses and areas of ministry\, though his main interest is with biblical studies\, hermeneutics\, and especially the New Testament. He trained for ordained ministry at Cranmer Hall\, and then paused ordination to study for a PhD in Durham\, looking at Christian hope as a framework for thinking about what is happening when we read scripture. He was ordained in 2013\, served his title in and around Sherborne in Dorset\, and was chaplain to the Bishop of Portsmouth from late 2017-2020.  Richard enjoys finding ways to make scripture and theology as accessible as possible to all\, and believes that everyone has a voice in the enterprise. He lives with a rescue dog\, enjoys walking and painting\, and is approximately one half of post-hardcore talk music duo\, ‘Rails\, Witnesses’. \nThis event will run on Monday 4 November starting at 7pm or Tuesday 5 November at 10am \nTo book your place on either of these events please click here.
