Friday PM: The Foolishness of Christianity (1 Corinthians 1:18-31)
In this presentation, Fr. Dan will lead us in exploring the richly scriptural foundations for understanding the logic and wisdom of God as foolishness in the eyes of the world and consider the ways in which we need to rethink our faith, prayer, and practice.
Saturday AM Session 1: The Radical Call of Baptism (Matthew 5:3-12)
Drawing on the wisdom of Pope Francis in his homilies, addresses, and recent apostolic exhortation Rejoice and Be Glad: On Christian Holiness(2018), Fr. Dan invites us to consider what it means to recognize and embrace our universal call to holiness rooted in the radical call of Baptism.
Saturday AM Session 2: Social Justice: Embracing the Gospel Life(Micah 6:8)
In our contemporary age the term “social justice” has been coopted and complicated by those who wish to water down or ignore the practical dimensions of Christian living. This presentation returns us to the scriptural mandate that calls every believer to become someone who lives the Gospel life by word and deed.
