Early Church
Robert Haddad
(Live @ Lidcombe)
Mondays: 6.30pm - 8.00pm
February 6 - March 26
Most people do not realise that many Catholic teachings and practices can be traced back to the first
years of the Church. This topic surveys the very early years of the Church for foundational beliefs and practices
such as the Mass, prayers and moral teachings that have been faithfully preserved for us in Sacred Tradition.

Everything you need to know to understand the seven sacraments: why we have them, how they are

Thomas Flynn
(Live @ Lidcombe)

February 6 - March 26
This is the first in a series of courses which will introduce students to "Koine" or common Greek. After
an introduction to the Greek alphabet and grammar, the participants’ knowledge of the language will be systematically
built so that they will have the ability to translate sections of the New Testament. The meaning and significance of
particular words will also be explored.

The Gospel of John
Robert Tilley
(Live @ Lidcombe)
Thursdays: 8.15pm - 9.45pm
February 9 - March 29
St John’s Gospel can be called the first theology of the Holy Trinity, one told in a historical narrative structured
along the lines of the Temple in Jerusalem. John leads us through the mysteries of faith: the sacraments; Mary’s ‘Hour’ and
into the holiest place of all, the pierced heart of Jesus. Then, with the Spirit we are sent out into mission. Scholarship and
theology come together in this the most dazzling of the Gospels.

*TWO DAY INTENSIVE* Christian Traditions
David Schütz
(Live @ Lidcombe)
March 19 & 20
9.00am - 4.30pm
Many people around us come from other faith traditions within the Christian context: Orthodox, Baptist, Anglican,
Lutheran, Pentecostal, etc. How do their beliefs differ from those of the Catholic Church? What are their particular
traditions? How did these communities begin and where are they now? This topic will look at various ecclesial communities
and the reasons they separated from the Catholic Church. It provides a unique opportunity to understand the beliefs of
others with whom we come into contact in everyday life.
