Pilgrim The Commandments by Sharon Ely Pearson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Pilgrim is a teaching and discipleship resource that helps inquirers and new Christians explore what it means to travel through life with Christ. A Christian course for the twenty-first century, Pilgrim offers an approach of participation, not persuasion. Following the practice of the ancient disciplines of biblical reflection and prayer with quotes from the Christian tradition throughout the ages, Pilgrim assumes little or no knowledge of the Christian faith. Individuals or small groups on the journey of discipleship in the Episcopal tradition can use Pilgrim at any point. Pilgrim is made up of two parts, each with four courses contained in four booklets:Follow: Do you turn to Christ? Releasing in March 20161. Turning to Christ2. The Lord's Prayer3. The Commandments4. The BeatitudesGrow: Will you continue in the Apostles' teaching and fellowship? Releasing October 20165. The Creeds6. The Eucharist7. The Bible8. Church & KingdomEach course offers six sessions each that combine a simple prayer, reflection on a biblical selection using lectio divina, an article by a modern writer, and reflection questions. Course 3. The Commandments: Following Jesus is about the way we live as well as what we believe. So how should Christians act and how should we live? This part of Pilgrim explores that question through one of the core texts of the Christian faith: the Commandments. We look in Session 1 at the two commandments Jesus uses to summarize the whole of the Old Testament law: the call to love God and to love our neighbor as ourselves. In Sessions 2–6 we explore the remainder of the Ten Commandments. | Pilgrim The Commandments by Sharon Ely Pearson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
