It seemed odd to begin Sunday with class and end the day with worship, but that's how day 3 was for us. Our day began with devotions by Holly Inglis and then Norma Calvo-Cascante instructed us in the role of the historical-critical method of biblical interpretation for Anglo/North Atlantic individuals. The discussion was rich and insightful as always.
This afternoon, we left the Pastoral Center to travel into San Jose for a bit of necessary shopping; sweaters, socks, etc to keep us warm in the cool mountain temperatures. Then we travelled on to the Escazu Christian Fellowship, an English-speaking, interdenominational congregation. Our group added significantly to the number of worshippers and we were warmly welcomed. Some of us even met folks from our home states.
We returned home to a delicious dinner and then returned to preparing for tomorrow's class, skypeing family at home and listening to the sounds of the night birds outside
the windows.
The beauty of Costa Rica is only surpassed by the joy of being with some members of our cohort and the thoughts of those who are unable to be with us here. Buenos noches!
Holly Inglis
Nice pics, Holly. Hope you are warmer now. I miss you, but pray that all of you are "getting into" the experience and have some time to explore CR.

Am enjoying the sights and descriptions, all. Thank you. Greetings from a cold, snowy, and now icy Atlanta. The seminary was closed today because of the snow (6-8 inches) and now icing that is happening. Think of us while you're by your fire. Fondly, Rodger
ReplyDeleteI found you on google maps & google earth! Just put in "san ramon la union, tres rios, cartago, costa rica" and I can see the rooms and classroom area. Very cool.
