Free.
Tuesday, October 2nd from 6:00-9:00. Program begins at 7 PM

In the film various Christian leaders discuss topics of life, liberty, marriage and family--and how we need to speak up about them. The DVD features Professor Robert George, author of over a dozen books and numerous published articles, Professor George also drafted The Manhattan Declaration, signed by Catholic, Orthodox and Evangelical leaders, which promises resistance to the point of civil disobedience against any legislation that might implicate their churches or charities in abortion, embryo-destructive research or same-sex marriage.Professor George will be Credo's speaker at the Christ the King Forum this coming November. Click here to register for the November event. There is no need to register for the DVD Viewing.

We greatly appreciate our members’ and friends’ help promoting our Forums. Many parishes will permit you to distribute flyers. If you ask, you may be able to obtain mention of the Forum in the bulletin or from the pulpit. If you need a flyer, you can download it here and make copies as needed. It is not necessary to make color copies. The announcement will be available on the Archdiocesan Bulletin Gateway too – your bulletin editor may find it convenient to copy and paste from here. Religion teachers, RCIA participants, clergy, youth group members, and many others may be interested in Credo’s terrific annual speaker’s series. Please help us invite people from your parish. If we can answer any questions at all, please contact us here.
