1-02: The Church Doesn't Need You

Friday, February 24 | Period 1 | 10:00am - 11:15am

You need the Church, though. The temptation of any pastoral worker is to think that we can save the Church through our many activities. This can make us lose sight of the fact that it is the Church which is saving us. In this session we will reflect on three images from the gospels to rightly calibrate our approach to apostolic activity.
