Review of Life Workshop
Sat 25 Apr
9.30am - 1.30pm
CANA The Catholic Centre
Review of Life Workshop - See Judge Act Method
How can we integrate faith into real-life issues? How can we make decisions as a community with faith?
Lumen Gentium, the focus of Pope Leo's current catechesis, tells us that we are called to sanctify the world from within and become to the world what the soul is to the body.
Join us at CANA to learn the See-Judge-Act method to integrate faith and life in the way we decide our actions. Used by popes and various Catholic organisations, we will use the method in facilitated discussions. You are encouraged to bring friends and community members to learn together.
