The elements of water, bread, and wine, as the elements of the Church’s two sacraments of baptism and the Supper, serve as guides to the Church’s being and well-being. These elements weave together the realities of Christ and the Church, creation and new creation, craftsmanship and pastoral ministry, perception and labor, dependence and joy. They also elucidate how the Church lives under the sign of her baptism and at the Table of fellowship. Each of these elements also enjoys a rich theology in Scripture, tradition, and liturgy, a theology which may serve to deepen the Church’s appreciation of her sacramental life and practice, including aspects of pastoral care. In this course, we will examine the water of baptism and the bread and wine of the Supper by exploring the theological and pastoral dimensions of each element within the world of Scripture and the Church.

Note: this module ends on the 2nd which is the same date as our Greystone Winter Feast. Registration for the Feast is not included in registration for the class.
