Ecclesia is a group that does Bible study in an electronic forum. Every week, we read a chapter of the Bible in the comfort of our own homes and receive an e-mail with historical and spiritual teaching about the reading. Starting April 13, we will be starting THE LETTER TO THE HEBREWS, an extraordinary New Testament letter rich with reflections on Jesus as seen through the traditions of the Old Testament. To join Ecclesia, send an e-mail to carolyn.sharp@yale.edu. We'd love to have you! | |||
