For those of you returning to Animo Space, I am glad to have you back!

Below is a brief introduction to our LCENWRD (Encountering the Word in the World) course.

Given that the Christian life is one shaped by God’s Word, students need to learn how to engage scripture for the purpose of deepening their spirituality and appreciating and living their Christian vocation in the context of Philippine realities. Those unfamiliar with the Bible however often need “tools” for understanding its evolving perspectives on the relationship between God and humankind. The approach to the Bible taken here is to regard it as a collection of stories of the ongoing quest of God’s people for shalom in a world of exclusion and violence. It also takes into account the story of how God in his faithfulness intervened in history to teach people how to live a new solidarity rooted first in the covenant and then in the reconciling love of God in Jesus Christ, the Word-made-flesh. The course also aims to develop in the students the disposition and knowledge of discerning Christian life as a faith response to the invitation to live and proclaim the values of the Kingdom of God (Reign of God). It is hoped that through this course, students will be able to draw on scripture in reflecting on their vocation today.
