Renewal of Christian Faith
Pre-requisite: None
The course Renewal of Christian Faith, is the only possible way to approach Christian faith through a total, lifelong and deepening conversion. It is total in the sense that it must touch the whole person, both his intellect and will, to be able to make a creative response to God’s calling.
It is lifelong conversion because we acknowledge with a sense of mystery the dynamic of God’s love, which is at work in the lives of all believers. A process of search and growth, through encounters with source of faith, the subject of faith and a model of faith must all take place in the context of the faith community.

This syllabus can offer a foundation, a focus and an attitude toward a correct and clear understanding of faith as presented by the Catholic Church.
