Our Opening Words Each Week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Open my eyes, so that I may see the wonderful truth in your law. Open my mind, so that I may understand thy law and observe it with my whole heart.<\/em>
Psalm 119:18<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blessed Lord, who hast caused all holy Scripture to be written for our learning; Grant that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them; that, by patience, and comfort of thy holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which thou has given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen<\/em>
Book of Common Prayer, P. 184<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Dubbed “Dawn Patrol” by John Alexander who first called us together in 1991. About ten of us (from Saint Andrew’s and other places) meet for Bible study from 6:30 to 7:30 am\u00a0every Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We meet in the bar off of the lobby of the InnTowner Motel at the corner of University and Highland. Coffee is available on arrival; breakfast available from the buffet or menu. We begin with a brief prayer said in unison. Then our study is self-led and discussion is lively, benefiting from a variety of translations and diverse perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We take turns reading a small portion (usually much less than a chapter, or in the case of the Psalms, only one) and then talk about it. Typically our group includes people who might be considered “liberal” and others perhaps more “conservative”–leading to interesting but always respectful discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there is a core that has been coming for many years, some lovers of the dawn, or not so much lovers, are welcomed and always appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please try us; You need make no special preparation. Just bring a Bible, and if you have an unusual one, all the better: comparisons of translations have led to some of our most interesting discussions and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though only men are currently participating that is not a rule, brave women have join us in the past and we would love to welcome humans of the female persuasion. That is a point of view we sorely need!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
