TERM 1

Created in the Image of God:
An Introduction to Christian Anthropology

This set of talks will offer a Catholic perspective on what it means to be human. Utilising Scripture and St Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, it will delve into what it means to be made in the image and likeness of the Holy Trinity, how this forms the basis of our identity and human dignity, and how Jesus’ death on the Cross gives the highest and deepest revelation of what it means to be human. Participants will learn the meaning of being redeemed and healed in Christ, the importance of being made male and female, the vocation of every human person, and will be challenged to apply such principles as being “in the world, not of the world”. This course belongs to a 4-part series on Scripture, Prayer and Sacraments, Christian Anthropology and Catholic Values.

 

TERM 2

Strengthening One’s
Relationship with God: Prayer and Sacraments

The Catechism of the Catholic Church emphasises the importance of Prayer and The Sacraments in the life of a Christian. It refers to prayer as the means through which we celebrate our faith in God and enter into a personal relationship with Him (2558). As we do this, the Sacraments mark all the important stages of our Christian life and sustain us in our sense of mission as Christians (1210). Join us as we explore what prayer is, the difference between saying prayers and praying, and how the seven Sacraments can deepen and give meaning to our unique relationship with God. This course belongs to a 4-part series on Scripture, Prayer and Sacraments, Christian Anthropology and Catholic Values. CEWA Ongoing Renewal: this course has been approved for Knowledge

 

TERM 3

The Word of the Lord:
Exploring Scriptures

This course offers a general overview of Scripture
and its significance for our lives. The central
topics covered include: an understanding of the
Bible in context, the relationship between the Old
and New Testaments, how we understand the
Church through Scripture and the importance of
tradition and revelation.

 

TERM 4

Discovering Catholic Values:
An Introduction to the Basics
of our Faith

An informational and enriching introduction to the Catholic faith, this course will explore who is the Trinitarian God we believe in, who is Christ as our saviour, what is the Church, and how do we respond to evil and suffering. These questions will be addressed in the context of living the call to holiness in the grace of God with a life of Christian love and virtue. The course will acknowledge our Catholic tradition and heritage while recognising that we need to live our faith in the reality of a changing world. This course belongs to a 4-part series on Scripture, Prayer and Sacraments, Christian Anthropology and Catholic Values.. CEWA Ongoing Renewal: this course has been approved for Knowledge
