Conversations with Father Greg

How would you describe your spiritual life?   Some people would recoil at the question.   Others would say that it's something personal and private?  Others take pride in it being something that's out in the open that everyone knows about.  Today, we consider what scripture has to say?     (James 2:1-10, 14-17)

This week we pick up where we left, off last week, and consider if we can experience redemption.   Is it possible to come back from a scandal and, if so, how.

Have you ever considered the things that you inherit from your family?   Things like humour, athleticism, or a skill for languages?   How about what you learn from those who function as role models in life?   Today, we pause to consider what we can learn from someone who was once dubbed “the apostle to the apostles”.   Come and take a listen.  (John 20:1-3, 11-18)

Today we give some thought not only to what we say but to how we say it.   What can we learn from Biblical examples and from our own lived experience.  (Mark 6:14-29)
