Host: Scott Hahn


The Church is not primarily an earthly reality. She is the visible face of a kingdom that is not of this world, a kingdom that is supernatural and heavenly, not natural and earthly. That means part of the Church's work is to bear witness to her own supernatural reality and to the presence of God's power in the world. Similarly, as Christians, we, too, are called to bear witness to those truths and to be stewards of the mysteries of God.

At the 2008 Defending the Faith Conference, we'll look beyond the veil separating heaven from earth to see the eternal truths that guide the Church in history. We'll also explore the way our understanding of those mysteries should impact the way we live in the world as spouses, parents, employees, and citizens. Finally, we'll examine how our role as stewards should impact the worship we offer God and how, in the Church's liturgy, the Holy Spirit unites the heavenly kingdom and earthly kingdom, the heavenly liturgy and the earthly liturgy, making one kingdom, one liturgy through grace.

This July, join our host Dr. Scott Hahn and speakers Kimberly Hahn, Father Benedict Groeschel, CFR, Father Robert Barron, Steve Ray, and others as well as more than a thousand Catholics from around the country for a weekend full of penetrating talks, prayer, worship, and fellowship. And through both word and sacrament, discover how you can hear and answer the supernatural call to live as a steward of the mysteries.

Dr. Alan Schreck was selected to participate in a National Endowment for the Humanities summer seminar researching St. Francis of Assisi. The six-week program will be held in Rome, Siena, and Assisi, Italy from June 25 to August 6, 2008. Because of this, Dr. Schreck will miss this summer's Defending the Faith conference. He looks forward to sharing the fruit of this study at next year's DTF conference, and in a projected book on Church renewal.
