Ed Sri
Our presenter is Dr. Ed Sri, a theologian and author who currently serves as the Senior Vice President of Apostolic Outreach with FOCUS. He will be sharing his presentation on apologetics called “Common Questions, Biblical Answers: How to Defend the Catholic Faith from Scripture.” As parish staff and volunteers, we get asked many questions about hot-button issues, where people ask for clarification on why the Church believes, teaches, or acts a certain way. It can be hard in the moment to know how to balance truth and pastoral sensitivity! Attend this presentation and walk away with techniques to answer these tough questions.
