The Catholic Spirit: Integrating Literature and Art into Religious Education

Are you looking for ways to inspire young people to learn about their faith? Literature, art, and film can be excellent tools to encourage students to develop an emotional connection with learning and to help them think critically about their faith. Teachers who use a multiple intelligences approach will appreciate the tips contained in this presentation as will all schools hoping to establish a cross-over between theology departments and English departments.

Topics of the Webinar will include:

* A brief discussion about the background to the book, The Catholic Spirit.
* A survey of the various excerpts and how they could be used.
* A sample lesson on the Eucharist using Scripture, literature, and art.
* A question and answer with Br. Michel Bettigole, one of the editors and authors.
