Christians in the city, a demand of faith

A weekend to reflect on one's witness as a Christian

Christians in the city, a demand of faith

Baptism makes us brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ: what consequences does this have for the way we live and act each day?

Through a guided (re)reading of foundational texts and exchanges among participants to make things concrete, this session will open up pathways for engaging with social doctrine as a resource for living out one's baptism.

  • Alternating presentations and time for discussion, as well as personal listening

  • Time for personal prayer and/or meditation for interiorization

  • On Thursday evening, the group will join an evening of testimonies led by the deanery deacons on the same theme of engagement in the city
