Would you like to be a scribe?

For centuries people have copied holy texts as a spiritual practice. Father Bob was inspired to try this out after reading an article in Christian Century written by Heidi Haverkamp.

If you are interested in exploring this spiritual practice, you are invited to join us every Tuesday evening at 7:00pm on Zoom. We will share our experiences and photos of our work. We will encourage one another in this spiritual practice!

Prior to each meeting please copy by hand one (or more) of the four scriptures for the upcoming Sunday. (For example, for the meeting on Tuesday, January 17 one would copy the scriptures scheduled for Sunday, January 23.) Passages will be listed in The Encourager weekly newsletter and can also be found here: https://www.lectionarypage.net

You are welcome to write in any language and use any translation. You are encouraged to be creative with format, doodles, short comments etc. Participants are encouraged to choose one passage to share.

When sitting down to write you can begin with this prayer:
Blessed Lord, who caused all holy scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Proper 28, BCP p.236)
