Understand the sacraments as never before in this brand new York Course.
Jane Williams, known for her profoundly perceptive and engaging writing, is a wonderful companion to have on this exhilarating course for Lent or any time of year.
Acknowledging that the sacraments can seem confusing, divisive or (frankly!) incomprehensible, she reveals them to be a glorious expression of God’s love for the world in all its beauty and brokenness. The sacraments invite us to enter into the mystery that the world has meaning and purpose and that all things come together in Jesus. If we are willing, in loving response, to become part of the action ourselves, we will surely find ourselves not only refreshed but re-enchanted.
