Safetynet Discipleship
Bishop Peter Stuart
This series of Lenten studies will lead participants in a journey through the Year ‘B’ Readings.
Bishop Peter Stuart writes ..... Lent presents us with an opportunity to be more open to God's grace. As we abide in God’s love, God blesses us to become more the person God calls us to be.
This Lent, we invite you to be open to the experiences people have that fill them with fear and uncertainty. These may be brief or lengthy moments. They may be your story. They might be the story of a friend, colleague, or fellow parishioner. They are our shared stories of trauma. We hope that by reflecting on the God of love, revealed in Jesus, who is at one with us on our pain, your faith and discipleship will growBishop Peter Stuart is the Anglican Bishop of Newcastle.
In recent years he has spoken openly about his experience of childhood trauma. He writes from personal experience, a careful study of the scriptures, and reading in contemporary neuroscience.
These refreshing studies look at the Sunday Gospel readings. They are intended to help you reimagine yourself as a disciple of Jesus.
Seven studies are provided from Ash Wednesday through to Palm Sunday week.
This is the book that we will use for the Lent Study Groups in the Parish this year. If you would like a copy they can be had from one of the Parish Clergy for $12.00.
