DESCRIPTION:This year there are 21 Sundays after Trinity taking us up to t
 he end of October\, so covering almost half the church's year. Everything 
 really exciting - Advent\, Christmas\, Epiphany\, Lent\, Easter\, Ascensio
 n\, Pentecost - has already happened\, in the year’s first half. \n\nSo 
 is that why the second half of the church’s year is referred to as 'Ordi
 nary Time'? In fact not. Rather the phase ‘Ordinary Time’ comes from t
 he way in which the Sundays are counted - with Ordinal numbers: first\, se
 cond\, third\, etc after Trinity.\n\nToday we are looking at the Old Testa
 ment lesson\, an uncomfortable\, indeed shocking\, story where a father fe
 els called by God to offer up his son as a sacrifice. The father is Abraha
 m and the son is Isaac\, and at the vital moment as he raises the knife\,.
 ...well\, come on Saturday and hear the rest of the story. And more import
 antly learn what such a bizarre biblical tale can have to say to us today!
 \n\nPIcture above\, an extract from 'Abraham's Sacrifice of Isaac' by Davi
 d Teniers the Younger\, from the Art Institute of Chicago. The author died
  in 1690\, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin a
 nd other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life
  plus 100 years or fewer.
