BHI Class: Our Life in Christ
Dates: Thursdays, Jan. 8, 15, & 22
Instructor: Scott McKellar
Time: 6:30pm
Register: www.MyBHI.org
Place: St. Andrew’s School Rm 133
Description: This course investigates Part 3 of the Catechism: “Life in Christ.” Students will learn the Catholic understanding of the human person, as discovered in nature and revealed by Sacred Scripture and Tradition. From the Catechism, we discuss the common human vocation to beatitude and how this vocation is lived out as “Life in Christ.” The concepts of
freedom, conscience, sin, grace, virtue, and law will be explored along with their role as the means of motivating moral action
from relationship and excellence rather than mere duty and legalism. Finally, the Ten Commandments will be our frame of reference for examining specific questions about moral actions and virtues.
Cost: BHI reduced the price of tuition to only $25 per course or $40/married couple! Students can save even more money if they
want to pre-pay for the year of courses. It is $150/individual or $240/married couple. As always, if a student cannot afford a
course they can request a scholarship, and we will not turn them away. For more information, please visit MyBHI.org, email
bhi@diocesekcsj.org, or (816) 714-2331.
