TAP Staff en-us © 2010 Theology and a Pub Thomas Deliduka thomas@theologyandapub.org Discussion Panel It’s no joke—everyone has a vocation! Some of us are called to be priests or religious, some are called to be husbands, wives, and parents, and some of us have other callings. Do you know what yours is? Tonight’s panelists will tell you how they found their place in the world and give you some thoughts on where you can find yours. We’ll hear from Sister Rita Jane, Fr. Jeff from the Vocations Office, Stephanie Jenemann from the Marriage and Family Life Office, and some other special guests —and there will be plenty of time for your questions! Tue, 16 Sep 2008 19:00:00 PDT George Gugle “ANOTHER second collection this week?” We’re all feeling the burn from $4-a-gallon gas and all the other things that have gotten more expensive lately...so how do we balance the need to pay our bills with our obligation to help those less fortunate with our desire to have our choice of PS3, Wii, or Xbox 360 when we get home every night? George Gugle, Associate Director of Stewardship for the Diocese of Columbus, will have some tips. Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:00:00 PDT Kathy and Paul Harvey Ah, Ireland...land of leprechauns, shamrocks, rainbows...and the IRA, tanks, bombs, and barbed wire. You think you have problems being Catholic? Wait until you hear from Kathy and Paul Harvey. Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:00:00 PDT Fr.

Ted Thomas When you hear about St. Patrick, what country do you think of? How about St. Francis of Assisi? St. Joan of Arc?

Larry Rice Vatican I, Isaac Hecker, and the development of American Catholicism in the late 19th Century The poor late 19th century... it always gets left out of history classes. Was anything important happening then? Oh, not much - only some of the most critical events and individuals in the development of the Catholic Church in America as we know it today. Want to know who and what they were? Join us in August when Fr. Larry Rice will shed some light on this often overlooked time. Thu, 23 Aug 2007 19:00:00 PDT Dr. John Clabeaux Paul is dead--or so the rumor says... but that doesn't mean there's nothing new with him! Go beyond what you vaguely remember from confirmation class and get to know the real St. Paul this summer with this great talk. Thu, 19 Jul 2007 19:00:00 PDT Fr. Jan Sullivan The Baptisms of Jesus and St. John the Baptist in the Gospels Many of us travel to family events in the summer – reunions, weddings, baptisms…but why settle for a trip to your cousin’s baby shower one county away when you can be at the baptism that started it all over 2000 years ago? Join us in June for a look at how the gospels present the baptisms of St. John the Baptist and Jesus. How and why do the accounts in scripture differ, and what can we learn from them about the first sacrament that any of us receive? Thu, 28 Jun 2007 19:00:00 PDT Deacon David Kruse The Apocryphal Gospels Every so often, we hear on the news of the “discovery” of a “new gospel” that was previously lost to the ages. There is much debate over the authenticity of many of these writings…but is there anything we can learn from the accounts of the life of Jesus that are not included in the Bible? Join us in May for a discussion of the origins and history of the most important of these texts. Thu, 24 May 2007 19:00:00 PDT Fr. Stephen Dominic Hayes, O.P. The Seven Days of Creation The most famous opening line of any book is Genesis 1:1: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." But what does that mean? And what comes next? Join us in April to learn how the seven days of creation continue to be represented in our Church today. Thu, 26 Apr 2007 19:00:00 PDT Thomas J. Nash Some Christians say that Christ’s Sacrifice began and ended on Calvary 2,000 years ago. The Bible teaches otherwise. In fulfilling the Day of Atonement and Passover sacrifices, Jesus’ culminated His one Sacrifice in everlasting glory when He ascended to the heavenly sanctuary. On earth as it is heaven? That’s what happens most perfectly at every Mass. Join us for the biblical story of the Mass. Thu, 22 Mar 2007 19:00:00 PDT Dr. Leo Madden Reading and Praying Over the Word of God On many occasions since his election, Pope Benedict XVI has encouraged the reading of the Bible according to the traditional method known as Lectio Divina. Join us in February to find out: what is this method, how does it work, and how can I promote it in my own life and in the life of my parish? Thu, 22 Feb 2007 19:00:00 PST
