On-line Diploma in the New Evangelization at Atlantic School of Theology (AST): The New Evangelization is a core focus of Roman Catholicism today! We are called to witness to our faith, engage in the culture, and spread the news of Christ in a coherent and joyful way. A Diploma in the New Evangelization is designed to equip you for this mission. You’ll become grounded in Catholic thought and skilled at sharing and explaining your faith in diverse environments. You’ll be able to speak about faith with more confidence to your children, grandchildren, friends, and co-workers. Moreover, you’ll be inspired within a faithful community of learning and challenged to live your life in a less ordinary way. This fall we are pleased to offer Roman Catholic Apologetics with Dr. David Deane. For more information, contact Lydia Hood at lydia.hood@astheology.ns.ca or 902-430-7662.
