Bishop Michael O. Jackels of Wichita, Kansas talked about his journey into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ to about 200 young adults during the diocese's monthly Theology on Tap gathering.
Bishop Jackels spoke about the ancient practice of “lectio divina,” which literally means “Divine Reading,” and refers to a method of reading and meditating over the Scriptures.
The church is intent that we have a living encounter with Jesus, the bishop said. “All Scripture is inspired by God,” he said, referring to 2 Tim. 3:16, which continues “and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work.”
Walking around the large room with a hand-held microphone, he urged all those attending to get a Bible, if they didn’t have one, and to start reading it.
