Quality of faith...
Jan. 30th, 2005 11:05 pmWorking for a school, we have occasions to have "staff development days" and being a catholic school we have occasion to do religious and spiritual discussions. Now I love this sort of thing, even though I'm not Catholic. I love discussing and analyzing theological issues.
The last meeting we had was about Heroes and Heroines from the Bible. We were asked to choose a hero or heroine from the Bible that we admired.
In the end I didn't come up with one but rather three: Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego from Daniel 3:13-30. For those who don't know the story, here it is in a nutshell: King Nebuchadnezzar builds a huge statue of himself and demands that everyone in the kingdom worship it. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refuse, and the king tosses them into a furnace, where God saves them from a horrible death. Nebuchadnezzar repents and rewards them.
( There are three things that I love about this story. )
