Luke 2.41–50
Inquirer
Ask questions about every facet of life – the political, the economic, the industrial, the social, the spiritual.

We need to learn the culture and subcultures of where we are. In learning from others, we begin to learn more about ourselves, what makes us function, how we can grow and develop. As we learn, let us maintain a self-awareness and practise humility under God.
Cathy Ross
Are we open to asking questions with humility and self-awareness? Are we ready to listen to the answers?
Jesus, you sat among the learned,
listening, and asking them questions.
Inspire all who teach and all who learn.

Almighty God,
you have brought us together in this place.
We have asked each other many questions
and heard many answers.
Help us to live with the questions,
that have no ready answers,
save in the love of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Prayer on a visit to East Germany, 1980
