What Do We Learn From The Trinity?

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jun 3, 2012

This is my latest attempt at an all-age talk to explain something of the nature of the Trinity and what it means for us as believers. Please note, I make the point that we can't fully understand the Trinity. It is a paradox.

So please don't be disappointed that I don't explain this passage verse by verse :-)] Today is traditionally known as Trinity Sunday; and it has been said that Curates and newly appointed ...read more
