Welcome! The Horizons Online Reading Group, in its second year, is now called "Vintage". Together we explore brief readings from the Christian tradition. The voices of vintage Christians who came before us can offer perspective, wisdom and peace--wonderful gifts to us all as we live in the sometimes crazy here and now.Each weekly discussion begins with a very brief text from Devotional Classics, edited by Richard Foster. [Last year we read from a similar volume called Spiritual Classics. ] The book is widely available at local bookstores, online and through our friends at Splintered Light.
We invite you to read the week's selection and then take part in our online discussions. I'll post a bit of background on the the vintage Christian of the week and then offer a few questions to start the conversation. Look for these on Thursdays, usually. We love to hear from you--with your comments, brief or lengthy, thoughtful or off the cuff, as well as your questions or doubts. Because each week's reading stands on its own, new members to the group are always welcome. If you have a busy week and just can't participate, well, there's always next time!
Vintage is an offering of Theological Horizons, a nonprofit ministry centered at the Bonhoeffer House in Charlottesville, Virginia. Each Friday there's a Vintage group meeting right here at the Bonhoeffer House, so if you are (or have a friend or family member who is) a student at UVa, come for the live conversation and warm cookies! My email address is karen@theologicalhorizons.org. The Vintage Online schedule follows the Vintage group on location---creating a sense of wider community for us all.
We are delighted that you've visited this blog and hope you'll come back again and again, to seek the wisdom of vintage Christians from the past as well as the fresh insights from brothers and sisters in the present!
Grace and Peace,
Karen
