scripture"In the sacred Scriptures the Father who is in heaven comes lovingly to his children and speaks with them."

Vatican II On Divine Revelation 22

 

The place of Scripture has a high priority in the life of the Church. The department offers a range of events aimed at opening the Scriptures in a way that is accessible and exciting.

Short courses (usually 4 or 6 evening sessions) on a Scriptural topic or theme can be arranged. Alternatively, a book from the Bible can be explored. Sessions such as these have been held in various parts of the diocese in the past.

There are two modules on the Catholic Certificate of Religious Studies which deal specifically with Scripture. You are welcome to attend these even if you do not register for the full Certificate programme.

  • Holy Father's Visit Has Given Us Fresh Courage
    "The four days of the Papal Visit brought the Catholic Church in England and Wales to a different and new place, emphasising and enhancing the opportunity we have to live and proclaim our faith in public," said Archbishop Bernard Longley of Birmingham during his homily at a special Mass on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin (8 December).
  • Papal Visit DVD Released
    Celebrating Pope Benedict XVI’s historic first State Visit to the UK, the DVD tells the story of the four extraordinary days in September offering not just event highlights, but the Holy Father’s profound words and the true significance of all the components of the Visit.
  • A Call to Freedom
    The UK media has repeatedly stated that Pope Benedict’s visit to Spain has touched on familiar themes. Yet, as usual, it has been left to the Catholic press to identify the central point of his message: freedom. Whilst the secular reports quote the Pope as calling Europe to return to its Christian roots, they frequently omit the reason for such a challenge: freedom.
