Biblical Conflicts between Prophets and What Christians Can Do about them: What do we do with the fact that Jeremiah had a debate with another Prophet? And it seems pretty clear that Micah and Isaiah had differing ideas about the Monarchy in Jerusalem! And Amos and Hosea, who lived at the same time, seem to have quite radically different styles and don't appear to have been on speaking terms! Are there 'disagreements'...IN the Bible? If so - what's a Christian to do?? First of all, DUCK! But second - and more seriously Come and find out!

There are challenges within the life of the Church and challenges from without.

We will see the mission of faith is to send us out to live the good news – for the sake of Jesus Christ. Please Note Workshop time! Rev. Richard Leonard SJ Wed., March 18; 7:00-8:30 pm St John Fisher—RPV, Barrett Hall 12-1 The Woman of Holy Week: Who were the woman who stayed with Jesus along the way and at the foot of the cross?

Jim Clark, Ph.D Thurs., March 19; 7:30-9:00 pm St. James School O’Gorman Center-Torrance 12-3 LA MISION DEL AMOR DE DIOS Y SU INMENSA MISERICORDIA: Dios siempre ha tenido la iniciativa de amarnos como sus hijos e hijas, al haber sido creados a su imagen y semejanza.
