Lunch plus Tea or Coffee (梁家聚餐)

#2024-1026

The 26 of us, including my three brothers and four sisters, gathered at Fu Rui Tang (福瑞堂) in Nantou City for a family reunion party today.

Jean and I were the first to arrive at the restaurant, which we, along with my sisters Xiuzhi and Xiuqing, had visited a month ago to ensure it would be a suitable venue for our reunion.

After lunch, we moved from the first floor to the second, where we spent several hours enjoying afternoon tea (or coffee) and reminiscing about the good old days we had shared. We hope to have many more gatherings like this in the years to come!

A Glimpse of the Trinity

#2024-1022B

What I'd like to share in this evening's reading group, also known as St. James' Tuesday Book Club (聖雅各堂 週二讀書會), is some thoughts on the Holy Trinity.

To ensure my points are easy for the other members of the group to understand, I have prepared a special PowerPoint presentation that highlights the main ideas discussed in the third chapter of The Magnificent Story: Uncovering a Gospel of Beauty, Goodness & Truth (深邃又美麗的福音) by James Bryan Smith (司傑恩).

The presentation is divided into three sections:
  1. Appreciation of the icon The Trinity (三一聖像) created by Andrei Rublev (安德烈.魯布列夫);
  2. Free associations about the term "Trinity" (關於 "三位一體" 的自由聯想);
  3. Various illustrations of the Trinity (三位一體的比喻/比擬). In this final section, I included what I believe is the best diagram of the Trinity I have ever seen, called "The Shield of the Trinity," which I sourced from English Wikipedia and referred to as "三位一體標準示意圖" in my PowerPoint.
I hope my presentation on the Holy Trinity will inspire greater interest and foster a deeper understanding among the Book Club members who attend this evening's discussion. I am praying for myself and others—may the Lord continue to bless and guide us in our study! Thanks and praise be to God!
