The Blumenau Group - Saturday 18 March

As Cora was tied up with a mass of preparation for the ministry in Belo Horizonte, Andrew went with Timóteo, Alex and Sara's eleven year old son. What a great day! One or two members of the group had expressed difficulties understanding the doctrine of the Trinity (nothing new there!) so instead of doing a normal, straighforward, exposition, Andrew gave effectively a class in Systematics. With the usual rumbustuous style of the group augmented by Timóteo's sharp questions, it was a demanding study, but very rich, and all seemed to grow in clarity, even if in a sense we are only "putting fences around the mystery" when we make our careful positive and negative statements of the Biblical teaching.

The four hours of journeys with Timóteo were delightful too - great conversations.
