Today in
Christian History
On this day in 1729 J.S. Bach conducted the first and only performance of St. Matthew Passion during his lifetime at a Good Friday Vespers service in Leipzig, Germany. The choral work has been called "the supreme cultural achievement of all Western civilization," and even the radical skeptic Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) admitted upon hearing it, "One who has completely forgotten Christianity truly hears it here as gospel." |

Jesus' resurrection is the beginning of God's new project not to snatch people away from earth to heaven but to colonize earth with the life of heaven. That, after all, is what the Lord's Prayer is about.

The "Let's Talk About" series, an adult education series sponsored by Stewardship of Faith & Knowledge, begins this year with an interesting course called "The God We Know" which will be covering the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim perspectives of God. The course continues on 17 April with Mr. Jihad Turk, President of Bayan Claremont School of Theology with a presentation on the Muslim perspective, and on 1 May a guest speaker TDB will be discussing the Jewish perspective. All sessions begin in the Large Parish Hall after the High Mass. All Parishioners and their friends are very welcome to attend.
