Comments on: What Every Christian Should Know About Epiphany http://www.sojournmusic.com/2008/12/31/what-every-christian-should-know-about-epiphany/ Original worship music, hymns, and teaching on worship theology from Sojourn Community Church Mon, 15 Mar 2010 11:55:09 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Bobby Gilles http://www.sojournmusic.com/2008/12/31/what-every-christian-should-know-about-epiphany/comment-page-1/#comment-3296 Bobby Gilles Wed, 31 Dec 2008 14:03:08 +0000 http://www.sojournmusic.com/?p=1764#comment-3296 You're welcome, Fred. I personally didn't know or understand any of this until I started attending Sojourn. I knew there was something called a "Church calendar" or "Christian Year," and I'd heard of terms like "Advent," "Lent" and "Epiphany" but thought of them as "dead traditions." But when you really study what these things mean and how they developed, it makes sense. It's like using the food pyramid to ensure you get a balanced diet. You’re welcome, Fred.

(we were def. the black sheep then). Of course, in that setting, nobody ever discussed these things ... so it's easily forgotten, or never taught.
