Do you ever think to yourself: "I say the creed at Mass, but I don't actually understand every word.", or "What does living Catholic social teaching mean for today?", or "How did the early Church choose books for inclusion in the Bible?". If so, then Enlighten might be a good fit for you. Enlighten is a program of online courses offered in collaboration with Fordham University's Graduate School of Religion and Religious Education. Each week coursework is delivered in small modules that can be completed at a time convenient for you. Lectures are presented in a combination of video and audio formats. Readings and other resources are provided. Participation in the program is a step toward certification for catechists. Best of all, the program is open to all parishioners of the Archdiocese of New York, and, free of charge. Winter classes start January 22nd. To sign up: nycatholicfaith.org/le....
