Loving the family means being able to appreciate its
values and capabilities, fostering them always.
Loving the family means identifying the dangers and
the evils that menace it, in order to overcome them.
Loving the family means endeavoring to create for it
an environment favorable for its development. The
modern Christian family is often tempted to be
discouraged and is distressed at the growth of its
difficulties; it is an eminent form of love to give it
back its reasons for confidence in itself, in the riches
that it possesses by nature and grace, and in the
mission that God has entrusted to it. "Yes indeed,
the families of today must be called back to their
original position. They must follow Christ”. ST JOHN
PAUL II on the family (Familiaris Consortio)

A four week course with Fr Marcus Holden and Danielle Plant.
Provides a deeper understanding of God and Christ and
(crucially) our own sharing in the divine life. It will strengthen
and enhance our own devotional life. This is a course not just
about dusty 'who cares' doctrine. It is a subject that really
makes a difference. We will look at the heresies of the early
times and encounter modern cults and modern sects (such as
the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons) that surround us.
