During our potluck lunch on Sunday, March 29, there will be a presentation by Rev. Patrick Lublink on the ancient and fascinating artifact known as the Shroud of Turin. This artifact contains an image of a crucified man which modern science cannot explain, and which has caused many people to believe this to be the actual burial cloth of Jesus Christ.
Is this piece of cloth genuine or it is a fake? The biblical, historical and scientific evidence will be presented to you and might surprise you; it will be up to you to judge.
Rev. Patrick served in the Canadian Forces for 22 years as a non-commissioned officer before entering full-time ministry with the Salvation Army in 1995. He was then seconded in 2003 to the Canadian Forces as a military chaplain where he served for the next 12 years. He retired in 2015 and now, in post-retirement years, is a part-time civilian clergy with the Canadian Force Joint Signal Regiment in Kingston. Rev. Patrick has had a life-long interest in the Shroud of Turin and is convinced that the Shroud is a silent witness to the passion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He obtained a Master of Divinity degree from Tyndale Seminary in Toronto in 2002 and a Postgraduate Certificate in Shroud Studies from the Pontifical Institute in Rome, through online courses, in 2019.
