Sunday 11 July 2010

Context: We continue to think about vulnerability as we read the familiar story about the Good Samaritan.
Common thread: Injury time (Luke 10.25-37) This week we explore the idea that vulnerability is more prevalent than a first glance at this story might suggest.
Previous issues: Links to previously published resources for this week's readings are near the bottom of the screen.
