Symbolon Series Learning Path: LA Congress
Class
Symbolon Series is a thematized module of Christian teachings and values intended to bridge the gap between the classroom and the altar, between the 'head' catechism and the 'heart' liturgy. As of the moment, there is a disconnect between the two. The students can be seen in the classroom setting but we seldom see them in the Sunday liturgy setting. Symbolon in its core meaning means to find the missing piece, to make the 'connection'. We can never find the meaning and connection of our life and lessons if we do not connect it to the altar in the Eucharist. Welcome to Symbolon Series.
Here is the class outline:
1. Introducing Symbolon SeriesSymbolon stands for 'making connections' and 'finding the missing piece'. From our everyday life and busyness, we finally find connection to the altar and to God. Welcome to Symbolon Series. 1 section
