You may find the following Boston College online courses of interest. Beginning in December, we will be reading the Gospel of Mark--Cycle B.
Courses Starting Oct. 18: Last Week to Register
Oct 18 - Nov 28 ($60)
Explore New Testament texts that are often less “trodden” in preaching, scripture studies, and reflections: Hebrews, the catholic letters, and Revelation. To help engage with the Scriptural texts, each week there is video commentary by a guest scholar.
Oct 18 - Nov 7 ($30)
Discover Mark’s vision of Jesus as the mysterious figure “the Son of Man,” misunderstood and rejected by all. Learn of this gospel’s direct and stark portrayal of the power revealed through suffering and crucifixion, and Mark’s call to professed believers: What will you do with your faith?
EFFECTIVE PREACHING: PREACHING FOR CHILDREN
Oct 18 - Nov 7 ($30)
Join us to gain a greater appreciation for the issues that children wonder about and their capacity for awe. Practice connecting the faith and liturgy to children’s everyday lives. This course is ideal for leaders of Liturgy of the Word for Children, as well as catechists, religious educators, or anyone else who works with children to nurture their faith.
