I have a friend teaching theology at a brand new Catholic high school, and this is how he’s constructing his sophomore year curriculum. Students will be introduced to the depth of the Church’s theology through the beauty of poetry and art, then they’ll dive into more analytical approaches in later hears years.
I’m a missionary for an apostolate leading pilgrimages, and this is at the core of what we try to impart to the people we take on the road. Beauty and wonder as privileged pathways to God, with the aim to help people reconstruct a truly sacramental worldview. It’s powerful, and often ignored. Beauty was given as a ladder to the divine
Wow! That is fantastic work you guys are doing! I will lift both of you up in my prayer time this morning. Thank you for sharing. It is a great encouragement to me to know how Christ is using his body throughout the world.
He is a "doctor of the church" in the Catholic Church. I assume he is in thought of highly in the eastern church as well. I'm not that familiar with him, but I have read some of St. Basil's homilies. I'm sure you've read some of Basil's stuff as well.
