Module Description
For this online programme, we will start with the current critical situation of Church and the Synodal Pathway (as a sign of hope). We will then go back to the first hundred years, tracking the emergence of the communities of faith in Galilee, Jerusalem, Antioch and, eventually, in the Pauline churches. As a kind of map, we will use this timescale: the time of charism (about AD 30-60), the time of memory (60-90) and the time of institution (90-120). We are heirs today to all three moments of gestation.
