History of Culture and Spirituality in the United States
This series will be live streamed at catholicinformationcenter.org
In this series, Fr. Bill Edens will explore unique American cultures and discuss how each group developed its special “flavor” of American Spirituality. Guest speakers will share their cultural perspectives and will offer an opportunity to converse in a safe environment about the challenges of culture crossing, especially where there may be a history of prejudice. We will also discuss opportunities for immersion into these cultures, which may be found in our very own homes and neighborhoods. CFD: Evangelization ($10.00 donation suggested)
