                     "Gospel and Empire "

        The lives of Jesus and the early Christians were thoroughly shaped by their experience as people in a world dominated by the Roman empire.  This session will examine select portions of Paul's letter to the Romans, Luke-Acts, and Revelation to reflect on the variety of ways early Christian theologians worked out an understanding of Christian faith and practice in the face of this political dominance.

  Theology Institute Mission Statement

     The Benedictine Sisters' Theology Institute provides bi-annual half-day offerings for the ongoing theological and spiritual formation of the Sisters of Sacred Heart Monastery.  The ecumenical public is invited to attend these programs free of charge.

     Recent programs have invited participants to "think theologically" about a variety of contemporary issues facing Christians and to bring the wisdom of Saint Benedict to bear on the challenges of our day.
