Meditate on God's holy Word: Is it on YouTube?

This was the third presentation in the 2012 Lenten Series at Christ Church Cathedral in Cincinnati under the theme: Occupy Yourself: Doing Lent in an Unre-Lenting World.

When it comes to a general knowledge of God's holy Word Episcopalians rank on the bottom of the scale, even below atheists. (Incidentally, atheists have better general knowledge of the Bible than some Christian denominations – not just Episcopalians).

In his presentation on Wednesday, March 14, the Rev. Scott Gunn stressed that the Bible is God's inspired word. To underscore the significance, he informed his listeners that when deacons and priests are ordained in the Episcopal church, they sign a document to declare their affirmation of the fact.

The Forward Movement is the Episcopal national church's initiative to encourage and facilitate the study of God's holy World. The organization publishes and distributes Forward Day by Day meditations.

Click here for Rev. Gunn's notes of the presentation. The following are some thoughts and questions for discussion. You are invited to join in and next Wednesday Interim Dean Ron DelBene will present Pray without ceasing – or at least get it on Twitter.
