Mark's Gospel

If you are reading the bible in a year with LCWABM ("little church with a big mission"), you are finishing the Gospel of Mark during May, ticking off those reading boxes as we make our way through the scripture. Being "methodical" is not the only way to appreciate the scope and power of the Gospels. Another way to appreciate the bible is to read it with mystics and poets. Macolm Guite is such. His blog post St. Marks Day included a sonnet and commentary about the evangelist represented by the lion.
The four evangelists--Matthew, Mark, Luke and John--are represented in our sanctuary by the four medallions behind the pulpit.
