A Workshop Especially for Curious Christians
When Christ founded his Church, he placed within the foundation a unique way of solving disagreements, something that many do not understand, but can provide a way forward for the division that is being currently experienced among Christians. A great example of this is how the Bible came together. Many do not realize that in the first few centuries of Christianity, there were fierce disagreements on whether certain books ought to be in the Bible. However, late in the fourth century, the Church used a little understood tool to solve this important conundrum. Are you curious to dig into the roots of belief? Learn how the Bible, the most influential book in our culture, was assembled amidst disagreement and how this points to the solution for a united family of God. Dig deeply into history and consider important events and questions often overlooked. Find hope and insight and a new way of seeing the world and the Church.
Workshop Host: This evening will be led by Father Mayer, who grew up as a devout evangelical before joyfully becoming a joyous Catholic Christian. This is a great opportunity to experience a highly praised, engaging presentation designed to bring us together around this holy book that is so loved yet understood differently by so many. These workshops tend to be full, so RSVP as soon as possible to assure your spot.
