How do you tell a child about the death of a parent, sibling, close relative, or friend? Once that death has been made known, how do you answer children’s questions about what caused the person to die, and what happens next?

These and other questions are answered in Helping Children to Grieve, a powerful, practical presentation by Sister Carole Riley, Ph.D., LPC.

A biblical anthropologist sheds new light on Paul and the first Jesus communities. Paul belonged to that generation of the Jesus movement, which stood between the Jesus group and the Evangelists. His seven undisputed letters make it clear that Paul considered himself to be an Israelite prophet sent by God to Israelites who were residing among non-Israelites, the "Gentiles", who believed in Jesus. Paul considered them to be like branches grafted to Israel, the true root (Rom 11:24).
