Essential themes of classical Christianity are illumined by selected readings from representative masters, ancient medieval and modern.  Here is a God-given opportunity to enter into the heart of our faith and formation tradition, to grow closer to God and to nourish the deepest longings of our heart with the "gourmet food" of formation theology.  This signature program helps us to fulfill our mission and ministry to reclaim the classics of our Judeo-Christian faith and formation tradition.  At these sessions we follow an ecumenical, wholly orthodox approach to spiritual deepening through the art and discipline of formative reading.  Sample themes are:

• On Knowing the One True God
• On the Meaning of Love
• One Giving and Receiving Spiritual Direction
