Friends,
I am asked more questions about the Book of Revelation than any other part of the Bible. It is not even close. That makes sense. Revelation is a complex book written in a very unfamiliar style. Adding to our confusion, many different interpretations have been forcefully put forward over the years.
This Sunday, I will be preaching about how to understand the climax of the book, Revelation chapters 21 and 22. Then, on the following Friday (May 30), Geoffrey Seroka and I will be putting on a men's event we are calling the Rector's Rib Roast and Revelation Repartee'. Hint: There will be ribs. You can read more about that and sign-up here or below.
Also, on a not-particularly-related note, we will be making a major internal change to this email newsletter next week that has come out of the practical realities of my coming sabbatical and the work of the Church Health Team. Going forward, our office manager Petrina Teoh is going to lead the weekly creation and distribution of the newsletter through our unified church database instead of through the separate system we have used in past. We are trying out this change during my sabbatical, but our hope is that it works well and becomes permanent.
Please be in contact directly with her (pteoh@epiphanyanglican.net) by noon on Wednesday if you have something to submit to the newsletter. All items submitted to the bulletin via Jimmy Crawford (jcrawford@epiphanyanglican.net) will automatically be considered for the newsletter.
Join me in thanking Amie Boncher for her gift of much time and care to Epiphany over the years in creating email newsletters in the old system (which as far as I can tell has had about a 20-year run) and Petrina for bringing this work into our main database going forward.
Starting next week, the weekly email will now come from a new email address: enews@epiphanyanglican.net. You do not need to do anything, or sign-up again to receive it. Just watch your email inboxes (and maybe your junk/promotions email folders) next Thursday.
God Bless,
