No Apology Apologetics – Seeking The Truth To Speak The Truth
Thursday, June
27 + St. Vincent de Paul Church in the Msgr.
Jamail Family Center Room 208 + 7:00pm
Why does the Church think
it can tell me what to do? Isn’t it full
of sinners anyway? Can’t I just pray on
my own and decide for myself? Do I need
the Church to be a good person? Do
you ever wonder how to address these questions adequately? Perhaps you yourself are wondering why the
church teaches what it does. Come by St.
Vincent’s for an informative talk and discussion forum. Bring your questions and your own insights to
share. The first topic in this summer
series is Subjectivism and Church Authority.
We will meet on the last Thursday of the month for June, July and
August.
