Sunday Adult Formation
Apologetics - for Christianity
Sundays at 9:15 a.m.
In the library


The following twelve questions will be a jumping off point for 12 classes this spring, to help us explore some of the tougher issues in Christianity. The facilitator, Elizabeth Anagnostis – Senior Seminarian at ETSS, will lead the class with some resources, but the class will primarily take a discussion format.

***This is not a class where all the answers to all the difficulties in faith and religion will be given to the participants. However, together, we will learn more than we knew before, pray together in the Spirit, and struggle, with Christ’s help, to reflect a clearer knowledge of and faith in the mystery of God.

Classes begin January 20
