Presenter: The Rev. Dr. Brett Younger, Plymouth Congregational Church, Brooklyn NY
Focusing on the Gospel of Mark, Dr. Younger discusses how Jesus’ ministry informs our call to ministry today. In Part 2, Dr. Younger focuses on Mark 1:1-12, suggesting that the message of forgiveness can offer a fresh start for everyone who hears it. He also draws meaning out of Mark 2:23-3:6, asking if we, at times, might be a bit more like the Pharisees than we are comfortable admitting. He says, “This story doesn’t really bother us, because we think we know which side we’re on.”
