Book of the covenant: laws concerning justice and the Sabbath; the Angel and the sanctions of the covenant. The Parable of the Wedding Feast.

Some passages referenced:

Leviticus 23 (the festal calendar); Exodus 34:26, Deuteronomy 14:21 (not boiling a kid in its mother’s milk).

Luke 14:12-24 (the wedding feast parable in Luke); Matthew 24:22, 24, 31 (election reframed).

Reflections upon the readings from the ACNA Book of Common Prayer (http://bcp2019.anglicanchurch.net/).
