Thanks, Yassmin :) I’ve loved your writing and recommendations so it was an easy upgrade. I’m keen on attempting the reading challenge - I’ve read tiny bits of that list, but never to a point where I felt I had a good understanding. I really like the idea of being more deliberate about it. Have a fabulous break and looking forward to reading more from you in the new year!
I'd be interested in being encouraged to read Western philosophical classics- Socrates is a bore. It's really interesting how Christianity was affected by Greco Roman ideas. In making "sense" Augustine of Carthage drew on philosophical thinking as did many others, not necessarily for the better in my humble opinion. It's something we looked at in my course. Even if I didn't link in time zones I need to be encouraged to read again as at 21yrs the Western Canon didn't interest me that much, apart for Shakespeare,& the Greek playwrights. 🤷🏼
Thanks for all the links which I'll take my time to read.
This week is a time for contemplation, prayer, leading some wayside services, & meditating on the birth of Issa/Yeshua🙏
On the 25th December, Wayside in Kings X has a huge street party & lunch. No one is turned away. It's chaotic & remarkable.
