Re-examining Biblical Stories with Glenn Jordan

Remembering Glenn Jordan by the Corrymeela Community https://www.corrymeela.org/news/184/remembering-glenn-jordan"In every situation we find ourselves, particularly at the margins of life, we need to evaluate each time in the light of compassion. Stories help us do that by forcing us to think broader, wider, and differently about situations. Stories establish a principle that compassion trumps the law and invite us to bring that principle into the complexity of our everyday life."Glenn was a public theologian working with Corrymeela, the oldest peace and reconciliation organization in Northern Ireland. Corrymeela's public theology work exists to motivate and support faith groups to widen circles of relationship, trust and witness. He was a Tedx speaker and a writer on evangelical identity in Ireland, and on urban theology and was particularly interested in the power of story to create newness. He blogged on the http://crookedshore.com, named after the place where he lived and walked with his wife and two dogs.To learn more about Holden Village, visit: http://www.holdenvillage.org or to listen to more audio recordings visit: http://audio.holdenvillage.org.
