DISCUSSION & DISCIPLESHIP
Why does the Church believe that? How can I explain this to others?
Sometimes, we have difficulty understanding Catholic teaching and even greater difficulty in explaining it to others.
Discussion & Discipleship is a new collaborative group where young adults will come together to work through these questions! As a group, we will examine issues of politics, culture, science, law, and philosophy, all from the Catholic perspective.
General Format ~
Before each meeting, participants will be presented with a hot topic and an official Church document on the topic. Then, during each meeting, participants will take part in a moderated, two-part discussion on the topic and reading material, and ways to explain the Catholic perspective to others.
Meeting Details ~
Meetings are one selected Friday evening of every month. Please contact [email protected] for location and reading materials. RSVP required.
