February 8, 2023 | Sparks Around the Fire: A Reader’s Theater prelude to Lent

David Weiss, MA, Theology & Christian Ethics, is a public theologian who puts Christian faith in conversation with contemporary issues.

In this short play we join a group of Jesus’ followers as they journey toward Jerusalem that fateful spring long ago. We’re invited to sit by the campfire five nights in a row as characters—some familiar from the Gospels and some new to us—reflect on Jesus’ ministry. Readers Theater is a low-pressure (no “acting” involved!) high-engagement way to enter textual material and experience it from the inside.
