APRIL 24-25: CHRISTOPHER WEST PRESENTS AN EXCITINGINTRO TO JOHN PAUL II’s THEOLOGY OF THE BODY
 In the words of Pope John Paul II, “if we live according to the true meaning of our sexuality, we fulfill the very meaning of our being and existence.” Many think they understand what the Church teaches about the body and the relationship between men and women. However, the deeper reasons (the why of these teachings) are not well understood. The human body is meant to be a sign of God’s own life and love in the world.
Join Christopher West for a thought-provoking seminar entitled “The Gift Series: Introduction to John Paul II’s Theology of the Body” April 24-25 at Belmont Abbey College’s Wheeler Center. It will deeply enrich your understanding of human sexuality and the spiritual power it contains.
Prices for the two-day seminar are $35 for singles, $60 for couples and $20 for college students. Prices include a copy of The Gift Series: Introduction to John Paul II’s “Theology of the Body” Study Guide and a boxed lunch on Saturday.
