Unitas Class: Return of the Prodigal Son. In the 17th century, Rembrandt painted an image from Jesus’ parable of the Prodigal Son. Many years later, author Henri Nouwen saw this painting and his “heart leapt” feeling himself swept into the warm embrace of the father. In response, he wrote The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming. It is an invitation to live the spiritual life from the heart and embrace our call to love like the Father. Our Unitas Sunday school will delve into this wonderful teaching of Jesus using Rembrandt’s painting and Nouwen’s book as our guide. Led today by the Rev. Nathan Finnin. Fisher House Café.
