VOTF
2007 Convention: Discipleship in Action
In Mark's gospel we read, "The Lord Jesus, after
he had spoken to his disciples, was taken up into heaven
and took His seat at the right hand of God. But the
disciples went forth and preached everywhere, while
the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through
accompanying signs” (Mark 16:19-20).
This VOTF convention, our third in five years, will
bring together members from all over the US to share
the ups and downs of the work we share; to be re-inspired
by each other and by the experience of others outside
of VOTF; and to renew the sense of stewardship that
fueled VOTF in the first place. Our speakers, panels,
and workshops are the products of lessons learned and
hope rekindled. We expect that all attendees will affirm
Mark’s message that indeed the Lord continues
to work with us!
Over the next few months, we will be posting some
recommended reading for those planning to attend the
convention. For starters, we suggest
- What is the Point
of Being a Christian? by Timothy Radcliffe OP;
- Roman
Catholicism after Vatican II by Robert A. Burns
OP; and
- Living Vatican II, The 21st Council for the
21st
Century by Gerald O'Collins.
