SUMMARY:WEBINAR: How NOT to Get Away with Murder
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Lumen Christi Institute’s Newman Forum. Open to current high school students. This event was made possible by a grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute. \nWe’ve run this event in-person\, but now we’re bringing it to you online! When you register\, you will be sent a Zoom link to follow at the appointed time. You have three sections to choose from:\n\n11:00am-12:00pm\n\n1:00pm-2:00pm\n\n3:00pm-4:00pm\nAre you already tired of being quarantined in your house? Feel a little bit like you might kill your siblings? \nThe book of Genesis is one of the most interesting and difficult books of the Bible. And there is so much more to it than meets the eye. For example: \nHow was a snake able to trick Eve? Why do Adam and Eve respond to God so suspiciously? And then there’s the Cain and Abel story…why on Earth does Cain jump to murdering his brother? What are we supposed to learn from this Scripture? \nThis hour-long seminar will investigate these passages in the 3rd and 4th chapters of Genesis.  By reading the text closely and paying attention to what is (and isn’t) there\, we will discover a whole new complexity to the relationship between God\, the first four humans\, and the snake.  Not only is God revealed as imminently just and merciful\, but also as a very acute observer of human psychology!\n\nCome to whichever session fits your new online schedule the best! All you’ll need is access to a Bible (either a real-life book or just online!) We’ll read the text together\, and discuss!\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER!\nResources from this seminar are drawn from Joseph Ratzinger’s (Pope Bendict’s) In the Beginning…’: A Catholic Understanding of the Story of Creation and the Fall.\n\nThere is no charge for the seminar\, but a good-will donation of $10 is encouraged.\n\n(Teachers and Youth Ministers may sit in\, if interested. Please register as “Other\,” and log in to the provided Zoom link 15 minutes prior to your session’s start time to ensure you are properly muted.)

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Answering Your Atheist Philosophy Professor
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Lumen Christi Institute’s Newman Forum. Open to current high school students. This event was made possible by a grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute. \nYou have two sections to choose from:\n\n1:00pm-2:00pm\n(The previously listed 11:00-12:00 session has been combined with this later session.)\n\n3:30pm-4:30pm\n\nCould God make something that He couldn’t move? If God is perfect\, why are humanity and the world so imperfect? \nIn March of 2019\, a San Diego State University professor of philosophy submitted an Opinion piece to the New York Times in which he claimed that God is an incoherent concept. The above are just some of the questions you will undoubtedly hear when you go off to college and encounter passionate\, athiest philosophy professors like him for the first time. In fact\, you might hear these questions already from peers or family members! What do we do about these arguments that seem so insurmountable? \nThe way to counter these arguments is much easier than you think. During this hour-long webinar\, we will read together the NYT article and discover how\, just using our own common sense and the powers of close reading\, what seem to be complex\, undeniable proofs for the absurdity of God’s existence are actually easily toppled through the logic they themselves utilize. \nYou won’t need a Bible\, you won’t need a philosophy textbook\, you won’t need a college degree: You’ll just need the mind you already have. \nHow does that sound? Want to be able to outsmart a college philosophy professor with your own high school brain? \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\nThere is no charge for the seminar\, but a good-will donation of $10 is encouraged.\n\nYou can read the NYT article ahead of time here: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/25/opinion/-philosophy-god-omniscience.html\n\n(Teachers and Youth Ministers may sit in\, if interested.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Another Unexpected Journey with JRR Tolkien
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Lumen Christi Institute’s Newman Forum. Open to current high school students. This event was made possible by a grant from the Our Sunday Visitor Institute. \nYou have two sections to choose from:\n\n1:00pm-2:00pm\n\n3:30pm-4:30pm\n\nHobbits and elves\, humans and dwarves\, trees with personality and the most famous ring of all time…. through his stories\, JRR Tolkien has taken generation after generation on countless fantastical journeys to far-off places\, full of magic and mystery. What’s more\, Tolkien has imbued his stories with the beauty of the Christian faith\, through careful allegory and metaphor. \nIn this hour-long session together\, we’ll read and discuss one of Tolkien’s lesser-known stories\, “Leaf by Niggle.” You thought there was nothing more humble than Hobbiton\, but through this brief tale of a regular man’s begrudging kindness and yes\, another unexpected journey\, we’ll see how even the most humble of human endeavors can leave an enormous\, magical impact. \nLike all of his works\, Tolkien guides us into the mysteries of Christian faith through allegory and imagistic suggestion. These are the most enjoyable of stories\, the ones that surprise us and leave us asking “what could that symbol mean?” During our time together\, we’ll unpack the layers of symbols in this short little story and wade into the picture of Christian faith Tolkien paints for us: How are we to spend our lives? How are we to treat our neighbors? What does it mean to prepare for a journey? \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n\nYou will receive a copy of the story\, “Leaf by Niggle” when you register! Please read through the story prior to the start time of the session!\n\n\nThere is no charge for the seminar\, but a good-will donation of $10 is encouraged.\n\n(Teachers and Youth Ministers may sit in\, if interested.
