Each week participants read a chapter of the text (must be purchased separately), view instructor input, post responses to online questions, read and respond to the input of the other participants.

Item 8151 The Paulist Evangelization Training Institute (PETI) will offer its online course Go and Make Disciples from September 10-October 21, 2007. The six-week Go and Make Disciples (GMD)Study/Discussion course is recommended for pastoral staff members and volunteer leaders (pastoral councils, evangelization committees) who are looking for a way to get started in advancing the mission of evangelization in their parish. In the first part of the course, participants will gain a basic understanding of the foundational documents of Catholic evangelization (see required texts below). In the second part, participants will examine evangelization in their own parish in light of the three goals of GMD and draft a plan of action for their own parish. Participants are encouraged to do the planning activities in the second half of the course with representative staff and interested parishioners. Each of these will also need a copy of the Planning Worksheets (see below). In the future, you will also be able to use the content and process of this course in your parish with those who will be implementing the goals of GMD with you. Registrations accepted until 5:00 pm EDT, September 6, 2007.
