By Lyn Breen, Adult Faith Education Sandhurst Bishop’s Diary LIFE has changed. The challenges and opportunities of living during a pandemic have drawn upon our capacities to adjust and adapt, be hopeful, creative and learn new ways to stay connected with others. Perhaps you can ‘Zoom’ now, with the best of them, use the internet in ways unimaginable a few months ago and Social Media apps are mini lifelines for communication with family and friends. If some, or all, of these apply to you, and you would like to further expand your online horizons to enrich your journey in faith, we have some options for you to explore. SANDHURST FAITH EDUCATION VIDEOS With the help of Fr Brian Boyle, priest of the Sandhurst Diocese and an expert in Scripture studies, the Sandhurst Diocese Adult Faith Education ministry has prepared the first two short videos in a series on ‘Our Catholic Faith’. ‘The Presences of Christ in the Mass’ and ‘Word of God’ with Fr Brian, five and seven minute videos, can be found on the Adult Faith Education Sandhurst Facebook page or directly using the link given below. Fr Brian’s s video presentation, ‘The Word of God’ will be available soon. If you have a suggestion for a topic in the ‘Our Catholic Faith’ short video series, send it to adultfaith@ sandhurst.catholic. org.au . For those who would like to delve deeper, for a better understanding of how to interpret the Bible, Fr Brian’s recent 30- 45 minute talks on ‘Understanding the Word of God in the Catholic Tradition’ are ready to view, with lecture notes available, on the Sandhurst Diocese website: Our Catholic Faith 1. ‘The Presences of Christ in the Mass’ with Fr Brian Boyle. 2. ‘The Word of God’ with Fr Brian Boyle.
