Discussion & Discipleship: Integral Ecology
February 9, 2018 @ 7:15 pm - 9:15 pm EST
WHY DOES THE CHURCH BELIEVE THAT? HOW CAN I EXPLAIN THIS TO OTHERS?
Sometimes, we have difficulty understanding Catholic teaching and even greater difficulty in explaining it to others.
Discussion & Discipleship is a new collaborative group where young adults will come together to work through these questions! As a group, we will examine issues of politics, culture, science, law, and philosophy, all from the Catholic perspective.
Please join us for pizza and fellowship, followed by drinks at a local establishment.

We will conclude our discussion on themes from Laudato Si’. At this meeting, we will be discussing integral ecology. What is the proper relationship between humanity and creation? How is the ecology of man connected with the moral law? Should Catholics be involved with environmental justice? The reading materials are sections 137-158 in Laudato Si’. Participants are strongly advised to read the selections prior to the meeting in preparation for the group discussion.
