Short Course- The Book of James

Join Fr. Rick to explore the Book (or Letter) of James, Thursdays, September 12, 19, and 26 at 12 noon.

You are welcome to join online or in-person. This is a one hour conversation.

See Zoom link below - or email rick@stjohnsinthemountains.org with questions.

The Book of James is a letter attributed to the Brother of Our Lord written to the gathering of Jewish-Christians located in Jerusalem in the middle of the first century.

James is strong, imploring the new community of Jesus-followers to embody the life of Christ by being "doers of the word, not merely hearers." (1:22) James' letter is bold and insists on a commitment to Christ that is bold as well.

We will explore this short letter, just five chapters long, through the lens of what are the words on the page, what is James imploring the early Christians to do, and how might this powerful letter strengthen our faith in the 21st century.

In Sunday worship through the month of September, we will hear portions of the Letter of James in Eucharist.

This Short Course will be a great opportunity to delve more deeply into what we hear on Sunday and how it impacts the rest of the week.
