1) Reading for Monday, March 10, 2008

Reading focus:

a) We will be looking at the "Last Supper" texts, and a very early Christian text known as the Didache. We will pay special reference to sacraments of Eucharist (Miles), and bread, wine and water (Hinnells).

And, we will be working on the next to last development stage of our wonderful group presentations. Be sure to bring your notes on what it will take to rehearse your work - and email me if you will be needing any room/space/equipment reservations.

1) If you need review of Pagels chapter "From Agape to the Nicene Creed," get it done.
