The last was the Great Reformation of the 1500’s; the next is happening now.<br /><br />What are the implications of this “Great Emergence,” both culturally and spiritually? What are the key questions and issues that need to be addressed? Where might we be headed next?<br /><br />And, perhaps most importantly, where are you, at this moment? Might you be an emergence Christian?<br /><br />There are six sessions on the DVD. Each session begins with a video presentation by Phyllis Tickle, lasting from 10-15 minutes. Ms. Tickle’s presentation is followed by filmed interaction with a small group. The Participant Workbook then helps your small group “join the dialogue” in your own setting.<br /><br />

Those offerings are used mainly to help people in need, in or out of the parish, who come to our doors seeking some assistance. <br /><br />Your contributions to this Fund are always welcome and are a vital part of the ongoing outreach of the parish to the community. Thank you on behalf of those whom your gifts will help. <br /><img src="images/SWsig.gif" width="167" height="50" border="0" alt="" id="img_float_right" />]]></content>
