Connection: Faith & Life

Preaching Homilies, Pie Charts & Parish Renewal


Listen Later

This week, Karl and Josh discuss the recent warning that Archbishop John Wester of Santa Fe gave to his priests about the length of their homilies during the COVID-19 pandemic. This triggers a sharing of experiences where homily time limits were enforced.

We promote an upcoming webinar that will help parishes to interpret Census data to aid decision-making. Father Karl proceeds to provide a strong warning against the use of pie charts, proposing divided bar graphs as an alternative.

The Cowra parish was recently featured in an article about parish renewal, and so we discuss that.

We speak with Daniel Ang, Director of the Sydney Centre for Evangelisation about the Plenary Council and Parish Renewal.

Finally, we debut our new segment "How-To" with Fr Karl explaining how to read the bible.
