Manage episode 439231950 series 3305655
Ever wondered how cultural shifts impact the way we minister in contemporary society? Join us as we explore this and much more with Dr. Matthew Carey Jordan, the newly appointed Vice President of Academic Affairs at Borromeo Seminary and St. Mary's Seminary and Graduate School of Theology. Dr. Jordan shares his compelling journey from his evangelical background to embracing Catholicism, and discusses his ambitious plans to enhance intellectual formation programs for both clergy and laypeople at the Seminary. Dive into his vision of creating new avenues for Catholics to deepen their faith and understanding in the 21st century, moving beyond traditional degree programs.
In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into how being in a now apostolic age can inspire modern evangelism and the crucial role of contextualizing the gospel message for today's audiences. This is developed from the book, From Christendom to Apostolic MIssion. There is an upcoming book study on this which is entitled "The Mission Series and Study." Here's an old podcast that Fr Damian did with Dr Jordan.
Church Search goes to St. Agnes-Our Lady of Fatima in Cleveland where they celebrated 60 years of service by our colleague Sister Jane Nesmith.
We also touch upon forthcoming events, including a live production of Flannery O'Connor's "Everything that Rises Must Converge" and a stimulating book study on "From Christendom to Apostolic Mission." Packed with insights, this episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in ministry or interested in the dynamic interplay between faith and culture.
