Study Day on Saint Paul for Clergy
On 27 November 2008 the newly formed Catholic Biblical Federation──Scotland will host a Study Day for Clergy on St. Paul at Scotus College at Bearsden in Glasgow. Given that this is the Year of Paul, many of us will be hosting talks or trying to prepare parish activities relating to the life and thought of this seminal figure in Church history but might feel that we need a refresher. In order to help all of us prepare for this year, and at the same time accomplish one of the six days of Ongoing Education which the bishops have recently asked us to do, we propose a Study Day with the following outline.
11:00 Opening Prayer
11:15 General Session:
How did Paul Preach?─Fr. Robert Hill, Ph.D.
How do We Preach Paul?─Fr. David Cotter, S.T.D.
12:00 Workshops
Paul in the Lectionary─Fr. Jim Foley, S.S.L.
Making sense of difficult texts in Paul─Fr. David Cotter, S.T.D.
Basic Paul─Fr. Michael McMahon, S.S.L.
The Person and Ministry of Paul─Fr. Thomas Kilbride, S.S.L.
13:00 Lunch
14:00 Repetition of Morning Workshops
14:45 Feedback and Questions
15:30 Closing Prayer
In addition, Fr. Gerard Conroy, S.S.L. is preparing a handout with a brief summary of the highlights of Paul’s theology which will be made available to all who attend.
Those travelling from some distance cans spend the night before the Study Day at Scotus College. For those spending the night, Scotus asks a fee of £20 B+B.
The fee for the Study Day will be £15 (£35 for those spending the night at Scotus). Fees will be collected on the day
So that we may plan the catering and gauge the number of copies to make of materials to be handed out, we ask that those planning to attend contact Fr. David Cotter at St. Aidan’s Parish in Johnstone on (01505) 320 900 or by e-mail at dcotter01@googlemail.com by Monday, 24 November.
The priest is called to a continual updating if he is to be faithful to his ministry. A range of courses are now available for priests working in Scotland. More information can be found here and from the Priests for Scotland office.
