The Word Made FRESH--A CBS Year of Faith Seminar

In this Year of Faith we have been called to rededicate ourselves to the work of evangelization. Such a recommitment calls not only for a new vigor, but a new vocabulary too.

Saturday, April 27
9:30-noon ("Coffee and" at 9:00)
St. Thomas Seminary
Celia Sirois of St. John Seminary, Boston

We take our example from St. Paul, who led the way in evangelizing non-Jewish Gentiles of the first century. He used used compelling words to extend the good news of Jesus beyond the Jewish culture and provided a new language for Christian faith that spoke to and energized converts from imperial Rome.

What Paul did for his Gentile churches, we must do for our own in this 21st century.  If we are to tell a new generation “the reason for our hope” (1 Peter 3:15), we must be able to do so in what William P. Brown described as “the Word made fresh.”

This program is designed for CBS graduates but is open to anyone who has undertaken serious Bible study and wants to engage God's Word for evangelization. We particularly invite parish leadership of all kinds.
