St Paul’s call to match words with action in First Corinthians
Kuala Lumpur: API organized a week-end seminar on 8 and 9th November 2008 presented by Dr Jeffery and Angelina Goh.
The lucky people who managed to attend this week-end seminar found First Corinthians unpacked in little easily digestable packages, organized into the 10 problems faced by the young Corinthian church.
Dr Goh distilled the best from his teachers and many years experience in the service of the church and explains how the masters (e.g. Raymond Collins) analysed each problem:
• What was the problem?
• Why was it a problem?
• How was Paul feeling when he wrote the letter?
• What was his solution?
• What was Paul’s spirituality?
• How does it apply to us, today?
Dr Jeffery used art to illustrate his points in so doing also taught religious art appreciation.
In the midst of analogies:
• The curry puffs in Kuching (did you know they are puffed full of air but little substance?) which is what we could become if we are not careful.
• Ever noticed the Microsoft ‘i’ as soon as you type it becomes ‘I’?
Many of us found the problems of the Corinthians still occur today. The spirituality of logs they are dead just going with the flow of the river is present and we have to take care not to become a log.
As participant, Robert Tan put it, too long we sing “We stand for God and for His glory …” but remain seated.
The Gohs, are taking time off from St Peter’s College, Kuching and will be available for seminars and retreats. We wish them all the best.
Note: Dr Jeffery Goh gave up his career was a Barrister-at-Law. He holds a STD/Ph.D in Sacred Theology and JCL in Canon Law from Catholic University in Laouvain, Belgium where his wife Angelina also has a STB degree in Sacred Theology and a MA in Religious Studies. They have written a book in the Living the Christian life series every year for the last 9 years. The books are available from good Catholic book-shops or contact the Kuching Diocese book-shop.
