Ss Peter and Paul Orthodox Cathedral

A new collection of bible studies titled "The Living Word" is under development for the Diocese' Parish Health and Development Ministry. The collection is edited by Fr John Matusiak and is being piloted at St. Joseph Orthodox Church Wheaton IL.
.

The Living Word is a 25-session Bible Study collection for group and individual use. Each series consists of five study guides on specific topics central to the Orthodox Christian faith and life as revealed in the spoken words of Jesus Christ, the Living Word of God.

Since, for a variety of reasons, the majority of parish members are often unable to participate in a weekday morning or afternoon study group – distance, work, and other commitments also may preclude regular attendance at evening sessions, while space and scheduling considerations may make a Sunday morning class difficult in some parishes – THE LIVING WORD is ideal for individual study.

After introducing the session’s topic, using the narrative at the beginning of each guide, participants look up and write down each passage.

For more information on the program, and to begin working on other sessions of the series, follow this link: http://www.midwestdiocese.org/biblestudies.html
