I have a question about the Little Rock Scripture Study. Has it always been so liberal? One of the commentators on the book of Luke in the second lecture quotes two dissenting scholars known for their relationship with Call to Action and the LA Religious Education Congress. They are Richard Rohr and Megan McKenna. I couldn’t believe it. We did these years ago and they seemed fine basic intro studies for the bible. Maybe I just know more now than I did then. Call to Action has been such a negative influence in the Church that I am suspect of anyone who is affiliated with them. Our bible studies need to be filled with truth and not clouded opinions. Fr. Stephen Binz did a lot of the commentaries for the old series and now come to find out he is Mr. Binz. I got this answer in reply to my question about that from the current director. Any feedback anyone has would be helpful. I am facilitating this session but not feeling good about it. Thank you.
Stephen Binz was a priest of the Diocese of Little Rock from 1983 until 1997, and for several years during that time he served as the Director of Little Rock Scripture Study (LRSS), putting to very good use the education he received in biblical studies. In 1997 he left the priesthood and was no longer the director of this program. He received his laicization in 1998 and was married just a few years ago. He does not have any children or step children and is in good standing with the church.
I was hired by the Diocese of Little Rock as an associate director of LRSS in 1989 and became the director of this ministry in 1998. I can assure you that we have the full support of our local bishop and that all of our printed materials have received the appropriate nihil obstat and imprimatur of our Church.
The heart of LRSS is the personal study and group faith sharing, with the lectures acting as a wrap-up to each session. I do hope you and the parishioners who will be studying the Bible will have a wonderful experience that helps you to grow in faith and hope, and deepens your commitment to Christ.
