The Deep of the Net: The Internet as a Tool for Evangelization
One Week Intensive Course
January 13 - 17, 9am - 12pm & 1:30pm - 2:30pm, Yonkers Campus
Course Description: In his 2002 World Communications Day speech, Saint John Paul II dared "to summon the whole Church bravely to cross this new threshold, to put out into the deep of the Net." This course will explain the context for that statement in light of the Church's advancement of the faith through whatever communicative technologies have become available to us, and the problems and pitfalls it has endeavored to teach us to avoid in their use from its admonition in Vigilanti Cura to the concerns of our present day.
Courses are open to seminarians and qualified lay men & women, priests and consecrated religious.
