Come, Have Breakfast: A Book Study on God and Earth
Jan. 13, 20, 27 | Feb. 3, 10, 17
“Come, have breakfast” (John 21:12) These three simple words followed by generous action open a portal into an ecological image of the living God who is active with cordial hospitality toward all creatures, nurturing their lives, desiring that all should be fed.
Join us for this book study of Come, Have Breakfast, the latest work of prize-winning theologian Elizabeth Johnson, which views the beauty and threatened state of planet Earth through the lens of Scripture.
Each luminous meditation offers a snapshot of one aspect of the Holy Mystery Who creates, indwells, redeems, vivifies and sanctifies the whole world. Together, they offer a panoramic view of the living God Who loves the earth, accompanies all its creatures in their living and their dying and moves us to care for our uncommon common home.
For the first session, read, reflect and jot notes on the Introduction. Use this method for the first five sections, focusing your reflection on the author’s last paragraph.
Facilitator: Rosemary Insley is a retired chaplain and bereavement counselor with master’s degrees in pastoral studies and social work. As a spiritual companion, she guides others in the Spiritual Exercises and in retreats.
