10:00 a.m.-10:45 a.m. | Parish House, 5th Floor, and via Zoom

Our Theologian in Residence, the Rev. Dr. Luigi Gioia, continues a year-long course to dive into all the main areas of theology: Faith, Scripture, Tradition, God, Christ, Salvation, the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, and the Church – always with an eye to their relevance for spirituality and for everyday life.

Christian hope is the vital force that amplifies the impact of faith and charity. While faith anchors beliefs and charity embodies selfless love, hope infuses them with purpose and resilience. It assures faith of a brighter future, instilling trust in the divine plan. Additionally, hope inspires charitable acts by providing a vision of a better world, even in trying times. Without hope, faith might falter in uncertainty, and charity might lack the optimism needed to persevere. Therefore, hope serves as the catalyst, enhancing the potency of faith and charity, nurturing their endurance, and elevating their transformative impact on humanity.

The Adult Education program at Saint Thomas Church offers sound Christian teaching presented with intellectual vigor, teaching that is grounded in Holy Scripture, mediated by the catholic tradition that is the inheritance of Anglicanism and set forth in the Book of Common Prayer. For more information about our theology program and to receive links for weekly Sunday Theology Talks, please contact Fr. Gioia.
