Awakenings —Adult Faith Formation: “Each one of you is a son of God because of your faith in Christ Jesus. All of you who have been baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with him.” (Galatians 3: 26-27)

Humankind – in the Image and Likeness of God: As affirmed by the Holy Fathers, humankind in its essence is the image of the Prototype the inexpressible, unknowable, and immortal God. Humankind has the capacity of “intellect and free will” and the interior power of self-determination.  Thus, the Holy Fathers affirm that the image of God in humankind is the ground of our being, existence, and personal self-determination. (Christ Our Pascha, 122)
