Spiritual Formation for Christian Men.  Our special calling as Christian Men signifies the mystery of who we most deeply are and discloses itself to us over a lifetime; which leads us to recognize the hidden, consistent direction of Divine Providence.

This study at home formation course is a workbook series which examines three themes over four months for a total of six courses in a one–year period.  The three units of study are:

  1. Our Calling in Christ (Formation of the Christian Heart)
  2. Our Commitment to Christ (Formation for Discipleship in the World)
  3. Our Consecration with Christ (Formation in Service of the Church)

This course was developed and designed by Susan Muto, PhD, Dean of the Epiphany Academy of Formative Spirituality and Thomas Joyce, BS, MPM, Graduate of the Epiphany Certification Program.
