Pilgrim - Turning To Christ by Stephen Cottrell, 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 1. Turning to Christ: What do Christians believe? This is the question explored as the questions that are asked at Holy Baptism are discussed. We begin by looking at whom Jesus was; why did people want to spend time with him so long ago and why do we promise to turn to Christ and follow him today? This is followed by learning what Christians believe about God, Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the Holy Spirit, and the Baptismal Covenant. | Pilgrim - Turning To Christ by Stephen Cottrell, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
