Testimonials

A testimonial from the former Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church:

By presenting questions, Jesus, again and again in the course of the Gospels, draws his hearers into an immediate and personal encounter with himself and the Word he is sent to embody and proclaim.  Mary Morrison’s sensitive and searching questions have, over the years, been the instrument of a similar experience in the lives of those who have studied the Gospels with her, or have become Bible study leaders under her direction.  As a parish priest I saw the fruits of Mary’s method in the life of a congregation, and can testify to its effectiveness as a means of personal and corporate awakening.

Testimonials from participants in Gospel study groups in the Diocese of Pennsylvania:

I fell in love. You know when you’re in love, you want to know all about the beloved. You want to spend time together. This is how Approaching the Gospels Together has changed my life – I have come to know Jesus in a deeper, more intimate way.
— ST. MARTIN-IN-THE-FIELDS, CHESTNUT HILL

Reading the Gospels in parallel, a page or two at a time, once a week, we grappled with why Mark included this scene; why Matthew used that language; who was Luke speaking to; and why were John’s words in such a different style? …. Would I have the same sense of the Bible if I had read it by myself? No way.

Through this powerful book of Gospel parallels, yet largely unknown to me, I gained new meaning and appreciation.  With the help of fellow learners, my appreciation grew.
— GRACE EPIPHANY, MT. AIRY

In the readings with others, I find my faith awakened and expanded, and I find that I am not only a Christian myself, but I belong to a community of faith.
— ST. MARTIN-IN-THE-FIELDS, CHESTNUT HILL

Lights go on in the faces of fellow participants after the readings and during the discussion.  They are moments which are not captured in any other setting.  We can’t wait to continue our journey.
