Welcome to the "Read the New Testament in a Year" group. This group is designed to enable participants to share their insights, questions, wonderings, ponderings, epiphanies, curiosities or anything else that might dawn on you as you read through the New Testament over the next 259 days. This journey officially stated on Monday October 26/09. If you want to join the group and catch-up to where we are - simply calculate how many days of reading have been done since October 26th. When posting your comments please remember to respect the varies points of view that may be expressed. This is not about convincing people of a particular point of view. It is about sharing your faith, deepening that faith, growing as a disciple and journeying with others. So, let the journey begin as we read through the New Testament together over the coming year.
