Created and Redeemed

You're invited to a series of workshops on the "Theology of the Body!"

Friday nights just got interesting...

 

Heard about Theology of the Body (TOTB)? There are a lot of people who keep referring to it, but what exactly is it all about?

The theology of the body is John Paul II's timely response to the sexual confusion troubling our culture and the church. Papal biographer George Weigel calls the theology of the body "one of the boldest reconfigurations of Catholic theology in Centuries… a kind of theological time bomb set to go off with dramatic consequences, sometime in the third millennium of the Church."

This 8 week DVD workshop, presented by the renowned Christopher West, equips participants with a deeper knowledge about the beauty of our gift of sexuality and addresses how to move towards concrete solutions to problems in our society.
