- The Second Epistle to the Thessalonians
- The Epistle to the Galatians
- The First Epistle to the Corinthians
- The Second Epistle to the Corinthians
- The Epistle to the Ephesians

IN SEPTEMBER 2008, WE WILL RESUME CLASSES AND STUDY:

- The Epistle to the Romans
- The Letter to the Hebrews

The course will be applying the same methodology that Pope Benedict XVI outlined
in the Foreword of "Jesus of Nazareth":

going beyond the indispensable tool of the "historical-critical" method,

applying "canonical exegesis"
(reading individual texts within the totality of the one Holy Scripture),

using the remarkable accuracy of the old doctrine of the "fourfold sense of Scripture",

making the vital connection between:
-"the Gospel Author,
- the People of God (the Church),
- and God".

We are using the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible,

On Saturday September 15, 2007, at 9AM,
we were blessed with the Divine Liturgy at Saint Sebastian Church.
It was a wonderful moment of worship and we are very thankful to Fr. David and to all the members of his parish who came down with him, all the way from Ukiah.

See pictures below. (Although the pictures do not do justice to the beauty of the chanting and the reverence of the worship).

Afterwards, we gathered downstairs in the Church Hall where Fr. Ken Westray had ccoked a delicious breakfast
of eggs and sausages, little muffins and croissants and fruit salad.
What a treat! Thank you for your hospitality, Fr. Ken.

We ate and talked and also had the opportunity to ask Fr. David questions about the Byzantine rite
or about the upcoming Study Course on Saint Paul.

Many thanks to all who came
and for the ones who could not be there, know that you were in our prayers.
