Wednesday Night Oct 14th 2009
Fr. John Littleton is a very well known priest, both here and in the U.K. As former President of the National Conference of Priests of Ireland, he is often called on to comment or a offer a view on current issues concerning the churches here. He is Head of Distance Education - for a programme in theology studied by lay people in their homes through the distant learning method. Adult learners from all over the country are currently involved in this programme. It is possible to obtain a Certificate or a Diploma and even a Degree in theology through The Priory Institute. A priest of the Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly, Fr. John is in constant demand as a retreat leader, preacher of missions, novenas and days of prayer. He writes weekly columns for several newspapers and has published three books on theology and Roman Catholicism in the 21st century. His main area of expertise lies in the study of the Scriptures. A man of wisdom and great humour, we are delighted to have him to lead the third evening of our course.
Welcome to the Blog for the West Wicklow Adult Religious Education Centre's Wednesday Evening Course, Autumn 2009.
Each week we will post information here about the theme of the forthcoming evenings and look back at some of the main topics and ideas from the previous one.
We hope that this will assist you if you are taking part in the course or are just interested and want to know more about it.
You will also find additional resources - suggested reading, links to appropriate sites, feedback from other participants and other material to help you get the most out of doing the course.
We hope that from this initial 'pilot' course will come lots of ideas and suggestions for developing the Adult Religious Education Centre's services to the West Wicklow region.
