July 26 – September 5 *Registration closes July 21 or when filled to capacity* Focused on the elementary and junior high catechist and religious educator, this course explores teaching as a vocation, the various types of learners, different approaches to presenting religious education material, and ways to create sacred space and pray in the classroom. |

July 26 – September 5 *Registration closes July 21 or when filled to capacity* In The Rebirthing of God, John Philip Newell calls for a rebirth of Christianity in order to counter its collapse in contemporary Western cultures. Using the island of Iona as an imaginative setting for this spiritual undertaking, he mines the wisdom of those who have provided prophetic leadership. Newell inspires hope that, through reconnection, faith can be renewed and enlivened personally and collectively. This new course is offered to complement this year’s Evenlyn Underhill lecture. |
