Spirituality at Work: Opportunity or Impossibility?
Presented by Carol O'Neil
We often associate faith with participation at Church, but how does
our faith affect our daily lives and our work? How can we integrate
our spirituality into our jobs and careers and embrace the call to be
authentic disciples at work as well. Carol O'Neil is an Associate Academic
Dean at the Georgetown University Law Center and is a parishioner of
St. Charles
Thur July 27
"Understanding the Bible: How Catholics Read the Scriptures"
Presented by Dr. Alan Mitchell
Many Catholics get their "dose" of Scripture at Sunday Mass.
Our Protestant brothers and sisters can often run circles around us
with their knowledge and understanding of the Bible. The Catholic tradition
of understanding the Bible is in some ways like but also different from
the Protestant tradition. Beginners, longtime Scripture readers, and
everyone in between are invited. Dr. Alan Mitchell is an Associate Professor
of New Testament and Christian Origins at Georgetown University and
is Director of the Annual Institute on Sacred Scripture.
