A-22 | MAK Board Room | “‘Love one another:’ Well, maybe!”

GR PMCC Session A

Room: MAK Board Room
Speaker: Dr. Robert P. Marko

In John’s gospel we are called to love another as Jesus loves us. This session examines the obstacles we face as human beings to reach the freedom of the daughters and sons of God that Jesus the Christ lived. We will consider the temptations or passions in the East called cardinal sins in the West along with their opposite virtues. In short, we will consider how primordial or original sin affects us in widening the margins to include all we are called to love.

Dimension: Theology

Also offered as session B-19

A-11 | 103 | Encountering Jesus in the Catholic Schools: A How-to-Guide

GR PMCC Session A

Room 103 
Speaker: Sean Nolan

We will discuss and explore how, in the classroom, we find ways to encounter Jesus Christ, encourage the growth of our students in all dimensions, and witness to what we have received. This session will involve presentation, practical ideas, and collaborative work time. You will leave with actionable ideas that you could implement in your classroom on the next day.

Dimension: Evangelization

C-21 | 205 | Answering Science Based Skepticism with a Person, Not an Argument

GR PMCC Session C

Room 205
Speaker: Dr. Timothy Dolch

When engaged in adult faith formation, an adult catechist will likely encounter skepticism that is purportedly science-based. While responding with reasonable arguments is important, one must not underestimate the persuasiveness of communicating the reasonableness of faith by pointing to Catholic scientists themselves. For example, big-bang cosmology was first proposed by the Belgian priest and astrophysicist, Georges Lemiatre. I will discuss the example of Fr. Lemiatre and others, largely drawn from the book “From Galileo to Gell-Mann: The Wonder that Inspired the Greatest Scientists of All Time: In Their Own Words”.

Dimension: Spirituality
