Catholic Catechism Dialogue blog

New Venture.

I have embarked on a new venture, that of writing for another blog and being part of a team of bloggers. The blog is catholic catechism dialogue blog basically this is a group study blog with a team of writers who commit to writing at least once a months. We follow a reading plan and then discussion can take place.

I have a few reasons for doing this:

It will help me read the Catechism in a year
It will keep me reading at a digestible pace
It will help me grow in my faith
Reading to write causes me to read at a much deeper level

It will be interesting to see how it goes. Last winter I wrote reviews of The Catechism of the Catholic Church, The Companion to the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Introduction to the Catechism of the Catholic Church by Pope Benedict XVI also to Handbook for Today’s Catholic Yet at that point I read quickly to write the reviews.

I am looking forward to this adventure, this new venture that will be a challenge, and hopefully a tool to help me grow in my faith.
