Stories
Converse: A Journey of Discipleship is a weekly, lectionary-based sharing
resource for groups, in leaflet format, that focuses on the
socio-political message of the of the Hebrew Scripture
and the Gospel, as well as on the Catholic Social Justice
tradition. It is written from the perspective that for our
faith to be alive, vibrant and growing, it must be nurtured, challenged
and put into concrete action. Being people of faith requires
that we structure our lives to reflect the faith we profess and
Stories seeks to introduce those who are already doing
this as both challenge and model. For subscription information
