Adult Education – Where we are and where we are going
by Ralph Zaorski
When we talk about education in church, the assumption is that the topic is biblical or otherwise “Christian.” At St. Richard’s our adult education program tends to be more eclectic. Certainly, we discuss biblical and Christian topics, but we also discuss topics that concern other religions or even purely secular issues. Our justification is that this is God’s world and “it is good.” For us to understand the wonders of God’s creation, we need to familiarize ourselves with the world around us. Our adult education program exposes us to subjects that are both interesting and challenging – at least that is the intent.
The program starts each Sunday morning at 9:30 am. Expand your mind and see how our Christian faith interacts with the “real world.” As an added incentive, come early for the coffee and donuts.
Sunday Mornng Adult Education Via Zoom
Starting on Sunday, October 4, at 9:30 a.m. we will be starting a ZOOM discussion group.
We hope it will provide a meaningful way to interact with other members of the St. Richard’s
community We will also explore ways that we can advance positive change in our parish, in our
community, in our state, in our country, and in the world. Everyone is welcome. We are in-person on Zoom, and everyone is expected to be “civilized,” as the topics we will be discussing are intended to elicit a variety of opinions.
