Black Rock Retreat Center in Quarryville, PA
Taught by Christopher West
This course introduces students to the key themes of the 129 Wednesday audience addresses that comprise John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. Particular attention will be paid to the imago Dei, fall and redemption, Christian ethics and ethos, freedom and person, gender and vocation. Students will be encouraged to journey from “head to heart” in applying the theological concepts they learn to their own lives and relationships.
Your registration covers every detail of the experience, allowing you to step away from daily obligations and fully focus on learning and spiritual renewal.
