Sunday, March 7th at 7:00p.m. - fourth meeting. James Alison study group,
at Joe Summer's house. This will be on essays that contain some of Alison's readings of the Scriptures.
The essays, which will be available at Accucopy later this week, will be "Monotheism and the Indispensabilty
of Irrelevance", "Worship in a Violent World", and "But the Bible Says ...: A Catholic Reading of Romans 1."
They are all taken from Alison's book: Undergoing God.
James Alison is a Roman Catholic priest and an openly gay man who has, over the
past fifteen years, produced a body of work that is intellectually challenging and deeply spiritually
nourishing.
The first meeting began an introduction to Alison's theology where
he invites us to let go of the ideas of a vengeful god demanding a blood sacrifice, and instead,
to look through "Easter eyes", seeing such vengeful ideas as being those of human violence,
wrongfully projected onto God.
The second meeting was on the essays: "Confessions of a Former
Marginaholic", "Unbinding the Gay Conscience", and "The Importance of Being Indifferent", all
from the book On Being Liked.
The third meeting concerned two essays on prayer and contemplation. The first was
"Contemplation in a world of violence", which is found in On Being Liked, and the second
was the essay "Prayer: a case study in mimetic anthropology", which can be found on the
James Alison website
Essays can be purchased cheaply from Accucopy, which is on William Street
between Thompson and Maynard next to the Cottage Inn.
