Meeting Cancelled! |
| Last Updated: 17 Apr 2009 Monsignor Ricardo Coronado-Arrascue, our spiritual advisor is currently in Peru until the 24 of March. Upon his return in April, we will be adding some events to our regularly scheduled monthly bible study. Our first event will be: TBD in May: Msgr. Ricardo will give a presentation on the encyclical Veritas Splendor after the 5:00 PM Mass. Our meeting is scheduled to begin immediately after the Mass (approximately 6 PM) and end at approximately 9:00 PM. We are working to finalize a meeting room but it is currently scheduled to be held in the Bonnie Fitzpatrick room (our regular meeting room). We will bring snacks to enjoy during the presentation. Stand by for more information. Msgr. Ricardo will also be giving talks on the following topics in the future: - The True Nature of the Church - The Role of Canon Law and the Church - The Problem with Liberation Theology - Part II Peace be with you, David Monthly Bible Study Come Discuss The Faith! We are continuing our study involving militant atheism in the US and around the world. We are utilizing the popular book - "Answering the New Atheism." We will continue to meet on the third Friday of each month until June 2009. The book used in our study is: Answering the New Atheism by Scott Hahn and Benjamin Wiker. Our study will end in May/June. Aquinas and More Catholic Goods (at the corner of Fillmore and Academy Blvd.) has the book on hand and if needed, can order the book for you. Our format for the study is "Point-Counter Point." I will role play as Richard Dawkins ("no annoying accent") by using excerpts from his book and I will ask you to explain your position or belief. You can come prepared by reading the appropriate chapters in Answering the New Atheism and reading the appropriate section on the Bible Study page on this website. I will post the proposed argument on a separate and special Bible Study Page. This post will outline the major points proposed from Dawkin's book and will be the ones we discuss during the monthly meeting. By posting this argument ahead of time, you should have time to review the argument, review the appropriate book chapters and then come to the meeting ready to discuss with other faithful Christians. If you don't like to discuss controversial things openly, no problem. You will always be among friends. You are always welcome to come and listen and to bring a friend. This study is open to anyone. Your suggestions are certainly welcome: david@cufcos.org |
