RENEW Theology on Tap | Week 1

Bishop Gerald Wilkerson | 'The Parish: What Kind of Animal Is It?'

The parish of the 21st century — where have we come from, where are we now and where are we going?

What is the essential mission of the parish and what role do young adults play?

What do we, as young adults, need to do to deal with the kind of animal the parish is, and how do young adults fit in with the parish of the future?

Join Bishop Gerald Wilkerson for an engaging session that will help us understand exactly where we fit in with our parish, what impact we have now and can continue to have.

Bishop also opens the mike to questions.
