Woo Hoo - all of Luke!
Seems like a continuation of yesterday's well-reahearsed and hashed out narrative. With the added emphasis on a bodily resurrection - making sure that the disciples distinguish between the resurrection and a ghost - with them feeling the body and two scenes of Christ eating. Although I admit I say every week that "I believe in the resurrection of the body" I must admit that I mean it more metaphorically than Luke does. And I'm certainly not alone.
Some churches we're affiliated with have started building columbariums - to store the ashes of some of its members, as old church cemeteries used to do (still do). If the churches are moving in this way out of concern for the environment and realities of our populated world, then we must be beginning to officially leave the theological need for catacombs behind us.
