What is the Trinity?

17 02 2008

Great question. I had the great opportunity to talk about the trinity with a group of young adults at a Sunday morning small group taster this morning hosted by the Couples in Christ class which meets at 9:00 AM at Resurrection.

I tried to touch on what what it means to be a theologian, the practice theology and the concept of the Trinity in less than 20 minutes allowing time for small group discussion. It was a bit of a challenge for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

At the end of the class time, I invited each person to write a question on a post-it note and turn it in and I would respond here at Thoughts of Resurrection. So look forward to a week of theology and thinking about the Trinity. I am looking forward to reading the comments and conversation that you will add.

Couples in Christ and all people at the taster – Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your group this morning. It was a blessing!

I remember you saying in a previous post that you subscribed to the HTB sermon podcast. In case you missed it, Graham Tomlin gave a great sermon on ‘The Trinity and Why It Matters’ (on 5 June 2007).

Oh! And that reminds me that I forgot to give another podcast suggestion. It’s not a sermon podcast, but it’s a great roundtable theology discussion with Graham Tomlin, Michael Lloyd, and Jane Williams (wife of the current Archbishop of Canterbury). It’s called GodPod and can be found at http://sptc.htb.org.uk/godpod.

lol… explain theology, being a theologian and the Trinity in 20 minutes :-)

I know I couldn’t do that! :-)

I really look forward to these series of posts, and after reading the one on Rublev’s icon, I know I won’t be disappointed. :-)
