A Parable of Prodigals: lessons in extravagance
"In the context of a compassionate embrace, our brokenness may appear beautiful, but our brokenness has no other beauty but the beauty that comes from the compassion that surrounds it."

~Henri Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son 
The parable of the prodigal son is perhaps the best known of Jesus parables, the prodigal most often identified as the younger son who wasted his inheritance by extravagant living. There are other extravagances - excesses - in this parable: the extravagance of the elder son, the extravagance of the Father, and then those of the reader. We will work through the varied prodigals using the following outline:
● A Reading of the Parable of Prodigals (March 2)
