February 10 Readings Read Mark 4:35-6:44 Myers, chapters 6, 7, 8, pages 53-78
Background: The first two sessions focus on subverting the status quo. With this session we begin the constructive task of building solidarity. Myers introduces Bartolome de las Casas at the start of chapter 6. He was the owner of slaves who became the “father of liberation theology.” The Sea of Galilee, which is actually a fresh water lake, and stories of healing figure prominently in these chapters in Mark.
