J.J. Thiessen Lectures - Lecture 2 - Dr. John Swinton - Oct 14/14

Slow and Gentle Discipleship: Discovering vocation in worlds without words What does it mean to redeem time? This lecture will examine a theological understanding of time through a critical reflection on the ideas of Sabbath, providence, slowness and gentleness. Furthermore it will develop a model of discipleship which reclaims the power of timefulness and the significance of inactivity. It is through the recognition of the gentle, slowness of God that the prophetic witness of disability can be understood.
