Lenten Conversations
Our Adult Faith Formation conversations will continue starting on Ash Wednesday, February 6th and will
meet every other Wednesday evening until April 23rd (i.e. every second Wednesday) . As usual, the
discussions will be hosted by Fr. Bob and Fr. J.A. at the Jesuit Residence, 130 Beacon Street, from 7:30 pm
until 9pm.
Our conversations will be focused this time on Timothy Radcliffe’s book: What is the Point of Being a
Christian? (N.Y.: Continuum, 2006). [It is available at Amazon.com and should be through local booksellers
as well.] We will attempt to discuss two chapters each week.
The book has been called “a breath of fresh air at a time when such a thing is sorely needed.” It asks the
simple question of how our faith should be translated into action in everyday life, and what it might look
like if Christians actually lived the faith we profess verbally so easily. It is a challenging and very
pragmatic book.
Please get your own copy of the book. We will not make copies available as in past sessions.
Would all who are interested in attending please register as soon as possible with Betty at
the Parish office.
This is important to keep numbers reasonable and space is limited.
Register early to insure a place for yourself.
