New Moravian Catechism Zoom

New Moravian Catechism What is a catechism? A traditional teaching tool since the ancient church on the main doctrines of the church. Why is it new? The Northern and Southern Provinces explored our 15th century teachings of the Moravian Church to reveal the guiding principles for our faith and church community together and put together this catechism in 2021. With an eye toward the historical simplicity of Essentials, Ministry and Incidentals of the 15th century Moravian Church, the new catechism highlights our unity in the core essential beliefs that we share in common, and our diversity in things not required. It is our hope that in exploring this in several virtual offerings this year, we can build our community - as the early Moravians saw - in all things love. We'll talk about the understanding of God's role in our core belief, as creator, redeemer and sustainer and our part - in response to God and all of creation with faith, love and hope. What parts of our faith life guide us to God but are not essentials and how do we invite people into this conversation? All of these topics will be explored as we gain a deeper appreciation of the core belief and doctrine of the Moravian Church. To this end, we will offer two options for engaging and exploring the Moravian catechism. Evening Moravian Women Group 4th Monday evening meeting (7 p.m., starting 8/31). Open to all women. Open to all - Daytime Group 1st Mondays of the month (10 a.m., starting September 14th due to Labor Day). Both groups will conclude in May. You can find the catechism here: https://www.moravian.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/2020-Final-Approved-Catechism-for-posting.pdf If you are interested in signing up for either group, email Pastor Janel at janel@centralmoravianchurch.org.
