schola stuff
I do believe I've landed on our beginning text for the community schola. St. Athanasius was a Father of the Church - late 3rd, early 4th century. He was a great defender of orthodox truth. One of the central points of the faith he was instrumentahttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.spell.gifl in guarding was the doctrine of the Incarnation - Jesus taking on flesh, actually being both fully man and fully God. That's central business and we'll be focusing on that to get started - St. Athanasius' work, On The Incarnation.
I was able to find the full text free online as a PDF file. We'll start reading on that together in September. For now, though, I've gotten hold of a couple of bios of Athanasius and put them together in a small PDF document. I uploaded it to our site - please download it here - and read over it before we get together on September 12. That way we'll all have a little background on the old dude.
