Novermber 5th, 2011 (One Day Workshop):

Preparing Hearts, Minds and Places:
Welcoming the New Roman Missal
Gilles Mongeau, S.J.

The new Roman Missal represents, in reality, two distinct evolutions in our celebration of the mass: a series of changes to the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM), reflecting 40 years of experience of the post-Vatican II liturgy; and a set of new principles of translation that affect how we will hear the mass in English. The course divides into two equal parts that reflect these distinct evolutions. In the first four classes, we will trace the theological and historical development of the GIRM. In the last four classes, we will comment on the GIRM itself, focusing on its practical consequences for our experience of worship.

This online course requires two hours of participation each week, including reading input materials, contributing two bulletin board postings and reading the postings of other participants. Participants must have access to a computer with multi-media web browser capability.

Bible and Violence
Scott Lewis, S.J.

It is often said that religious texts provoke and sanction violence and that religion itself is inherently violent. Utilizing the insights of psychology, anthropology, cultural criticism, and biblical scholarship we examine the destructive potential of the Old and New Testaments. Attention will be given to pastoral and theological approaches to sensitive biblical passages today
