Next Session Begins Tuesday, december 3rd, 2024
Theme: Faith, Hope, & Love: The Seven Catholic Epistles
Join us in person or virtually by Zoom to explore this theme for 6 Tuesday mornings…
Dec3 – Jan 28, 2024 (Will not meet Dec. 17, 24, and 31)
The seven “Catholic” letters provide a unique window into early Christian theology and practice. Known as the “pillars” of the community in Jerusalem, James, Peter, and John offer the church a collection of letters that serves as a complementary witness to that of the apostle Paul. The great Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love recur throughout these letters and form a thematic unity within the collection. These letters sought to address the challenges encountered by the whole church: refuting false teachings, strengthening believers in the ethical practice of the faith, and upholding their strength in the face of oppression from others.
METHOD
- Read at home the assigned biblical texts and commentaries.
- Discuss the questions for reflection during the sessions.
- Pray with select passages.

THE BIBLE PROJECT
The Bible Project is a collaboration between a visual storyteller and a biblical scholar. They have created a way to learn about the Bible in small, digestible chunks, especially with their playlist concept. We invite you to register for their free resources and begin your journey deeper into one of the pillars of our faith.
