Day 336: The Council at Jerusalem (2024)

Fr. Mike walks us through the Church’s first council in Acts 15 and
highlights the importance of the Church’s authority in the question
of circumcision for Gentile converts. He also draws our attention
to Paul’s treatment of God the Father and God the Son as equal but
not the same. This sheds light on Paul’s conversation about head
coverings for women in our reading from 1 Corinthians and reassures
female believers about their roles in marriage and the Church.
Today’s readings are Acts 15, 1 Corinthians 11-12, Proverbs
28:10-12. For the complete reading plan, visit
