How many angels can stand on the edge of a pin? An old question that occupied theologians and philosophers in the middle ages. And while it may seem like a silly question, it does speak to our innate need to try and understand God and God’s messengers.
Over the centuries angels have been attributed to timely help from strangers, guardians who save us from chance accidents and supernatural actors in our world. Stripping back some of those layers to an earlier understanding, angels have always been known as messengers. Biblically angels were a messenger from God, conveying news from God to humanity.
This month we will be looking at the biblical stories in which angels play a prominent role. We will examine what we can know about angels from scriptures and hopefully understand their place in God’s world. We look forward to seeing you on May 30th at the Heuther Hotel in the Malt Room at 7:30 pm.
