COLLEGE CHAPLAIN

Genesis 1

This term in Chapel we have been slowly making our way through the Creation narrative of Genesis 1. Already we’ve seen some startling challenges to our preconceptions about life and the universe, which I’ve listed below. For each of these revelations there is an accompanying short talk, which you can listen to via the new Chapel @ TRAC podcast. You can subscribe to the podcast here on your preferred platform.

I hope you enjoy partnering with your child in reconsidering how our universe centres on the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Genesis’ Challenges to Our Preconceptions:

• There is much in common with Earth’s beginnings and a lump of tofu…
• Most questions in Maths textbooks may transmit logic, but often ignore common sense…
• There is no such thing as darkness, as it is just the absence of light…
• Channel 7’s Sunrise needs a name change…
• Neglecting an indoor plant is a question of morality…
