Course Description

The Church is called to renew the culture of every age, and she has responded to this call throughout history with great creativity and boldness. But what of the Church today? How are we living our call and mission in a rapidly changing world? What do current trends reveal about the present and future of the Church? This workshop examines the current demographics of faith in the US and the World, and provide a candid analysis of the challenges we face and the reasons to hope.
