What is the Good Book Club?

Forward Movement, along with partners from across the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada, invites followers of Jesus to participate in the Good Book Club, a church-wide Bible reading initiative.

For 2021, the Good Book Club will focus on the Gospel of Mark, with participants reading a section of scripture each day during the Epiphany season, starting on January 1, 2021.

“The Good book Club is helping us to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest the holy scripture, anew in our time,” said Presiding Bishop Michael B. Curry. “The Good Book Club is a helpful tool to engaging in ‘Learn,’ one of the seven Way of Love practices for a Jesus-centered life.”
