Scripture As Our Basis for Catholic Social Justice with Eric Hendry, PhD

Tuesdays, October 13, 20, and 27 at 7:00 PM in Murphy Hall of Saint Edmund Campus

What Catholics are called to do in the world to help build the Reign of God is the heart of the Catholic Social Teachings, which can be grouped in seven focuses:

• Life and Dignity of the Human Person
• Call to Family, Community, and Participation
• Option for the Poor and Vulnerable
• Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers
• Solidarity
• Rights and Responsibilities
• Care for God’s Creation

Through thoughtful input and discussion, this series will help participants understand the connection of Catholic Social Teaching to the Bible.
