Relationships and Theology of the Body

If you’re a Catholic Young Adult living in San Diego, chances are that you’ve been going to Theology On Tap for the last few weeks at The Old Spaghetti Factory in San Marcos.

On the 14th May, Kristine Bacich, Director of Religious Education at St. Mary Magdaleine’s, gave a talk entitled “Relationships and Theology of the Body”. The MP3s of that talk are available for download below:

I had my last meeting for the Young Adult Commission recently – we’ve got some more great talks lined up for the next Theology On Tap!

TOT: Communicating the Gospel

Dr. Christine WoodOn 4th February at Cafe Coyote in Old Town, Dr. Christine Wood gave the following Theology On Tap talk:

God has Spoken, he has truly broken the great SILENCE:
Communicating the Gospel to Others!

Dr. Wood is originally from Sydney Australia, but teaches at John Paul The Great Catholic University here in America’s favourite city, San Diego in California.

(I wonder if she gets confused for being English as often as I get confused for being an Australian…hmmm…maybe I’ll ask her that next time during the Q&A session….)

Here in San Diego Diocese we make the audio of our Theology on Tap sessions freely available and you may download Dr. Wood’s talk from the links below:

(Oh, and well done to Kevin for getting a mention for the JP2 Group during the Q&A!)

TOT: Year of Faith

Year of FaithThe purpose of Theology On Tap is to help Young Adults grow together in their faith in a relaxed, informal environment. A few days ago I posted the audio from Dr. Michael Barber’s Theology On Tap talk at John Paul “The Great” University on the subject of “Spiritual lessons about politics from the book of Revelation”.

Today I’m posting the audio from another talk in that series, this time by Fr. Andy Younan. Earlier this year Pope Benedict called for a “Year of Faith”. Fr. Andy’s talk addresses this subject as well as another subject you may have heard a lot about, the “New Evangelization”

The talk is entitled “The Year of Faith & the New Evangelization” and is available for download by clicking on the link below:

One of the parishes with which I’m involved here in San Diego will be hosting a conference as part of the Year of Faith. As soon as we have our dates and speakers confirmed I’ll post some more information.

TOT: Spiritual Lessons about Politics

Did your Christmas presents disappoint? Did Santa get lost on the way to your house? Were you naughty and not, in fact, nice? Well, no need to worry! In today’s post there’s a present we can all enjoy! 😉

Back in November we had another round of Theology On Tap here in San Diego, this time at John Paul “The Great” University. The first talk was from Dr. Michael Barber, entitled “Spiritual Lessons about Politics from the book of Revelation”Dr. Barber’s talk is broken into two MP3s, roughly half an hour apiece, and is available for download below:

No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength…
We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.
 – Psalm 33:16-20

Four Horsemen

They clearly want us to vote Republican…

This year I’m actually going to be re-reading Dr. Barber’s commentary on the Book of Revelation and studying it with my friend Kevin, so you can probably expect to see a few Apocalyptic-related posts “coming soon”… 🙂

TOT: Healing the Culture

On October 23rd, Dr Delgado and Roger Lopez spoke here in San Diego for Theology on Tap. The title of their talk was “Healing the Culture: “Bringing reason back into medicine and sexuality”.
