May 12 Tapping into Theology
7pm Christian persecution is at an all-time high. Millions of our brothers and sisters in Christ face discrimination, violence and even death for their faith. Mark your calendar and come to the PMC for our next Tapping into Theology presentation "Living and Dying for Jesus, Then and Now". Our speaker is Dede Laugesen, St. Peter parishioner, who leads a coalition of more than 200 civil society leaders who are dedicated to exposing the persecution and brutal violence against Christians in a record number of countries around the world. Dede will speak about martyrdom from an historical lens and its manifestation in the modern world with specific references to Catholic clergy and religious who have given everything in the service of the Church and for their love of Jesus. RSVP to Stephanie Kemp ([email protected] or 719-481-4355). April 14 Tapping into Theology

Tapping into Theology began in January 2013 in response to the Holy Father’s call to spread the Gospel during “The Year of Faith," -- in this case, outside the walls of church. Tapping into Theology meets in the Parish Ministry Center. We gather on the second Tuesday of the month from 7-9pm, unless otherwise noted.
Every month there is a different speaker. We have had bishops, priests, deacons, laity from throughout the diocese, and parishioners presenting on various theology-related topics. We hope that the presentations help all who attend or listen to the recordings become more engaged in their faith and lead to a deeper relationship with God.
There is no homework, but sometimes there are handouts or suggested reading. Attendance averages 60-80 people each month.
