This is a video course in five parts that helps us re-discover God in our modern world. Both the course book "HOW TO MAKE SENSE OF GOD" and the video film "JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF LOVE" have won international awards.

The course moves through five key discussions:
mystery - science, religion, or what?!
creation - does evolution say it all?!
conscience - where does our conscience come from?!
encounter - are relationships just an illusion?
love - are suffering and a loving God compatible?

4. My Galilee My People

Christians are often considered dumb "followers", who obey the injunctions of their master without real, adult autonomy.

But is this the correct picture? This video course discusses the visions and teachings of Jesus Christ from an unusual perspective.

Like all good teachers, Jesus taught principles and values, not ready-made solutions. He expects his disciples to use their own mind and take responsibility for their own decisions, so that our own Galilee may become a truly just and peaceful part of the world.

5. I Have No Favourites

Christian faith professes that God has no favourites, that from God's point of view there are no distinctions between races, sexes, social ranks or cultural traditions.

In actual fact, Christians have often tolerated discrimation and have even justified it with quotations from Sacred Scripture.

This video course considers this history of failure regarding the relationship between rich and poor, slave and free, men and women. It discovers how a faulty interpretation of the Bible aided and abetted social prejudice.

6. Together in My Name

The Christian Church is a remarkable community of the most unequal and unhomogeneous members of society. How does common belief in Jesus' Gospel create a unity of life and worship?

Jesus preaching consisted in brilliant, but sporadic utterances. The course studies how the Early Christian communities interpreted and streamlined his vision in a process known as "Gospel formation".

Gospel formation continues even today. Jesus' word can be brought to life in our own contemporary situation.

7. Coming to Terms

We cannot help ageing, but growing old does require its own skills. We have to "come to terms" with our new situation.

This video course helps us consider
how to live with our memories,
how to express our feelings,
how to face up to suffering and death,
how to cope with loneliness and make new friends,
and how to rediscover God.

8. Loaves of Thanksgiving

The Second Vatican Council reformed the liturgy of the Catholic Church in order to enable Christians to a deeper and fuller participation in common worship.

In this video course we learn
why a personal commitment through faith is vital;
why we should take an active part in the liturgy;
why we worship through symbols;
why we need to belong to the community;
and why only sacrifice can change the reality of our life.
