SUMMARY:Heaven and the AfterLife
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 6\, 10am-11:30pm \nwith Sr. Mary Kay Oosdyke\, OP \nThis program will be live-streamed. \nChristians maintain a faith and a hope that there is something “more” beyond life on earth. That faith/hope is well grounded in Jesus Christ\, the Risen One. But our condolences of\, “He/She is in a better place\,” or “He/She is in heaven\,” at wakes and funerals leaves even us wondering about the meaning of what we have just said. Without meaning\, can words be comforting?  This program will look at some possibilities we can imagine of what might happen after death and then go back and look deeply at what our faith teaches us.  Bring your thoughts and questions to enrich our understanding of this life-shaping mystery.   CFD: Spirituality \n$10 Offering Suggested\n Give Now by Selecting Quick Give or pay at class.  \n[gravityform id=”3″ title=”true” description=”true” ajax=”true” field_values=”program_title=Heaven and the AfterLife”]

SUMMARY:Gallagher Talk:  Your One Wild and Precious Life
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, January 28\, 7-8:30pm \nwith special guest:  Fr. Mark-David Janus\, CSP \nVocation comes from a Latin word which means calling\, in the sense that we are “called” to do something\, we are “called” to be someone. From the Christian perspective\, the one doing the “calling” is God. What do we feel we are called to do with our life? Who is the person we are called to be?  How you answer that question is probably the most interesting thing about you. It is the very core of our life’s happiness and fulfillment. It is also how we find God.  We are each given one wild precious life—So\, what are you going to do with yours?    CFD:   Spirituality      ($10  donation requested.) \n*Copies of Fr. Mark-David’s new book\, Your One Wild and Precious Life: Thoughts on Vocation\, will be available for purchase. \nThis program is underwritten by the: Fr. Joseph Gallaher\, CSP\, Legacy Fund \n[gravityform id=”3″ title=”true” description=”true” ajax=”true” field_values=”program_title=Gallagher Talk”]

SUMMARY:Engaging Contemporary Prophetic Art: Posters for Hope\, Peace\, and Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 24\, 10:15-12:15pm\nwith Artist\, John August Swanson\nThroughout church history\, art has not only expressed Christian prayer but also embodied prophetic response to injustice.

SUMMARY:Freedom to Love:  A Gospel Guide to Moral Decision-Making
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays\, January 15 & 22\, 7-8:30pm \nwith John Graveline \nEvery day we are given opportunities to choose love. However\, moral deliberation is not always clear and simple.

Where do we look for guidance to recognize the good and the courage to live compassionately? These sessions will seek a Gospel approach though prayer\, reflection\, and dialogue to place the gift of freedom at the service of love.  CFD: Spirituality     ($10 donation per session requested) \nGive Now by Selecting Quick Give or pay at class.  \n[gravityform id=”3″ title=”true” description=”true” ajax=”true” field_values=”program_title=Freedom to Love”]

SUMMARY:Mary--Bridge between Catholics and Muslims?
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, November 5\, 7-8:30pm \nPresented by Rita George-Tvrtković  \nHow has the Virgin Mary been “shared” by Christians and Muslims over time? We’ll begin by comparing Biblical and Qur’anic Annunciation stories\, and then sketch out the contours of a broad historical trajectory which has vacillated between two opposite ideas: Mary as interfaith bridge\, or Mary as interfaith barrier. We’ll examine pivotal texts\, art works\, and shrines which have brought Christians\, Muslims\, and Mary together\, and which have affected Catholic views of Islam in both positive and negative directions\, depending on time and place. We’ll end by learning what a key Vatican II document\, “Nostra Aetate\,” has to say about Muslims and Mary. Does this long history of sharing Mary continue to affect Christian-Muslim relations today?  CFD: Spirituality       ($10 donation requested) \n  \nRita George-Tvrtković (PhD\, University of Notre Dame) is associate professor of theology at Benedictine University in Illinois\, where she specializes in medieval and contemporary Christian-Muslim relations. She is former associate director of the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Office for Ecumenical & Interreligious Affairs\, and currently serves on the USCCB’s National Catholic-Muslim Dialogue.

This international organization works to raise awareness about the sites where Jewish and Roma mass executions were carried out by Nazi mobile-killing units during World War II.  The work he has done is remarkable.  With the help of more than 5\,300 eyewitnesses\, he has identified more than 2\,100 execution sites in Eastern Europe.  Father Desbois will discuss his humanitarian mission during this special event. \nUnderwriters and sponsors:  \nThis program would not be possible without the generous support of the Ravitz Foundation\, the Henry Pestka Charitable Fund\, and the Joseph Stevens Freedom   Endowment of Grand Valley State University.  The event is also co-sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Grand Rapids\, the Diocese of Grand Rapids\, the Catholic Information Center\, the Cathedral of Saint Andrew\, and the Kaufman Interfaith Institute. \nFather Patrick Desbois is a French Catholic priest\, head of the Commission for Relations with Judaism of the French   Bishops’ Conference and a Vatican consultant. He is the founder of Yahad-In Unum\, an organization dedicated to locating the sites of mass graves of Jewish victims of the Nazi mobile-killing units in the former Soviet Union. He received the Légion d’honneur\, France’s highest    honor\, for his work documenting the Holocaust. In 2016\, he joined the Center for Jewish Civilization at Georgetown University as a full-time professor. \nFather Desbois has been a guest speaker at the United Nations and was featured on 60 Minutes. Many news articles have been written about his mission\, including by the New York Times.   Father Desbois is the author of several bestselling books including\, “The Holocaust by Bullets: A Priest’s Journey to Uncover the Truth Behind the Murder of 1.5 Million Jews\,” “Terrorist Factory: ISIS\, the Yazidi Genocide\, and Exporting Terror\,” and “In Broad Daylight:  The Secret Procedures behind The Holocaust by Bullets.”
