From a reader:
Amy, back in April (in the context of DVC) you ran a post about a Director of RE who decided to offer a course in Biblical Greek, and it was the most popular course she had ever offered, etc.  That post struck me like a lightning bolt.
I immediately emailed it to our Pastor and asked him what he thought about it. (I had never discussed my background in this with anyone at the parish). At Mass the following Sunday, in the middle of the homily, he transitioned from the kids who had just received First Communion, to the fact that many of us have never moved beyond our understanding of the Faith at their level (the Second Grade), to the fact that he was delighted to announce that your truly was going to be offering this class. I leaned over to my wife and whispered, "I guess I’m going to be teaching."  We are now organizing the class to start in September.
Let’s pray for its success – as well as for the success of all catechetical efforts, in a time when they’re so sorely needed.
