Lenten Bible Study

On Wednesdays during Lent this year, we will be gathering to study chapter 6 of the Gospel of Luke, focusing on Jesus' "Sermon on the Plain." The study will be led by Rev. Rob Erickson, a retired Presbyterian pastor from the neighborhood. By studying this great teaching from Jesus, we hope to better understand his call on our lives, and to counter some of the Christain-Nationalist rhetoric that is becoming too common in our national discourse. We plan to meet in the library of the Rudman House (the old Rectory, just to the left of the church). 

More about Rev. Rob:
Reverend Dr. Rob Erickson is a retired pastor  from Heritage Presbyterian Church in Alexandria Virginia. He received his Masters in Divinity and Doctor in Ministry degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary. He has served Presbyterian Churches in Bensalem, Pennsylvania; Texas; Kansas, and Missouri although he is now a committed Eagles fan. He and his wife have recently moved to Queen VIllage in Philadelphia to be near family and Rev Erickson has been attending the Musical Meditation services at Gloria Dei on Tuesdays. Rob has traveled on missions to Israel and Gaza, Malawi, Nepal, Honduras, Hungary, Ukraine, Mexico and Puerto Rico.  He is looking forward to sharing the Lenten Bible study with his new friends at Gloria Dei (Old Swedes) Epicopal Church and even learning a little Swedish (lite Svenska) in the process.
