WORKSHOP

En este taller estudiaremos el libro de Habacuc, prestando especial atención al uso que el profeta hace de una práctica litúrgica poco habitual en nuestros cultos pero que vale la pena redescubrir. Situado en un tiempo de tragedia nacional, Habacuc recurre al lamento comunitario como aquel modelo de oración que puede ayudar a la iglesia de hoy a responder al dolor compartido, a expresar legítimamente el sufrimiento, a mantener viva la fe, y a caminar en esperanza.
