To the UK and the Faroes

The Monday evening course, "Introduction to the Old Testament" is halfway through and we are taking a break until April. The Sunday course, "We Believe..." ends this coming Sunday. On 14th March a new course starts, "Questions People Ask" which is being led by Angelo Franklin, an ICP member. Information can be found on the Study Centre's website.
The courses have been very encouraging this term, with 12 people attending the Monday course and four at the Sunday one.
Meanwhile, I am off to the UK on Sunday for three weeks at Trinity College in Bristol as part of my master's studies. I have two weeks on the early letters of Paul and a week on hermeneutics. For part of that time, Dorit is going up to see her family in the Faroes; she leaves a week on Saturday.

Mum and Dad's Golden Wedding

Website and Courses

If you've not been on our website for the study centre, please do.  And let me know if any of it doesn't work or doesn't make sense!!
You'll see there that we have started two courses.  The first is on Sunday and is a new course looking at the Nicene Creed and the Christian doctrines it tackles.  I have a small group of 4 following that course and our discussions have been really interesting and challenging.  On Monday evenings, we are doing our Intro to the OT again, but this time taking 12 weeks over it as the first time through - last year - was much too rushed.  We are a larger group which is very encouraging - 12 all told.  From about 5 different countries.
We have also put a Faroese page on the site which a very brief explanation of what we are doing.  You can check that out as well if you like!!
