What is the Church for?

Does the Church have a mission? Or, does the mission have a Church?

What is your understanding of God?

Fr. Stephen Bevans, SVD, raises these questions in this week's edition of Deacons Pod.

Fr. Bevens is author of the new book "Community of Missionary Disciples: The Continuing Creation of the Church" from Orbis Books.

A professor emeritus at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, Fr. Bevans is a missionary of the Society of the Divine Word.

ABOUT THE SHOW:

Deacons Pod is a podcast for everyone. But, it’s especially created to inspire and give hope to people on the “threshold of faith”: Those who are thinking about going to Church and those who are thinking about leaving Church.

Deacons Pod is hosted by the Paulist Deacon affiliates. The podcast is a production of the Paulist Fathers.
