Sundays at 9:30 AM in the Parish Hall
Starting August 3rd, 2025, our adult catechesis class will explore the provocative and insightful book Against Christianity by Rev. Peter J. Leithart — a series of short essays that challenges conventional categories of theology, culture, and the Christian life.
In this five-week series, we’ll wrestle with the book’s bold claims and thoughtful provocations, guided by Fr. Steve Macias:
📘 Weekly Topics:
- Week 1 – Against Christianity
- Week 2 – Against Theology
- Week 3 – Against Sacraments
- Week 4 – Against Ethics
- Week 5 – For Constantine
Rather than tearing down the faith, Leithart invites us to rethink what it means to be the Church — not as a private spirituality, but as a public, embodied, and sacramental people. His “theological bricolage” pushes against the compartmentalized and secular assumptions of modern life, calling Christians to live fully and visibly as members of the City of God.
