Letting Mark Live! ... a seminar on the Gospel of Mark Year B

A seminar with The Rev’d Dr Alan Cadwallader

The Gospel according to Mark has always puzzled careful readers. It seems to focus on keeping Jesus’ works and miracles secret, on Jesus’ failure to convince his opponents, and on the weaknesses of his disciples.
The Revised Common Lectionary uses the Gospel According to Mark as the basis for the Sunday Gospel readings in year B. As an opportunity for preachers and laity alike this seminar will provide excellent preparation for the year ahead.

Mark’s Gospel is a gospel meant to be performed, with all the excitement and dangers that accompany the enfleshing of a text. The Gospel has for too long been shackled into sacred precincts when it originally was designed to be “out there” – in more ways than one. From sound-mapping to a recognition of the limits of the text, Mark’s gospel can be a means of restoring the viscosity and embodiment of, in and beyond the text!

The Rev’d Dr Alan Cadwallader teaches New Testament at the Australian Catholic University in Canberra. He writes and speaks regularly on issues of social justice, spirituality and Christian belief. He is married and finds frequent delight and new ideas in the surprises four growing children bring to family life.

He is the author of many articles on topics as diverse as, Atheism as a Christian Responsibility, and When a Woman is a Dog: Ancient and Modern Ethology.

Pilgrim Launch and Orientation

Mark the 25th of October in diaries now. That afternoon will be the date of the launch of the Pilgrim course in the diocese. Bishop Cameron Venables will do the launching as we embark on a great journey together. Noted in the Archbishop’s address to Synod this year, the Pilgrim course is a great resource for new or experienced Christians in small groups. The course, created by The Church of England, has flexibility and is easy to run; there are leader’s and participant books, weekly video clips and liturgical resources for every session. It’s middle of the road theologically; any parish could use it!

 Come along to find out more about the program, check out the books and other resources and receive some initial training for the small group work. UK theologian, Paula Gooder, one of the authors of the program will stop by via some specially shot videos!
