4-16 Oct BEING A CHRISTIAN

Baptism, bible, Eucharist and prayer are basic to our being Christian. They work together as channels of the divine life of grace to bring about our transformation and our conformity to the image of a Jesus who continues to move compassionately among wounded and sinful people. The weekend will provide an opportunity to renew and deepen our grasp and appreciation of our Christian calling through a close reading of Rowan William’s little book, Being a Christian: Baptism, Bible, Eucharist, Prayer. Presented by David Barry OSB. The text is available at www.amazon.com or through the Benedictine Institute for $15. Recommended cost: $300.
