The Emmanuel Community sponsors several outstanding formation opportunities for budding lay apostles. For young adults (20 - 35)
1) The one year English language formation program in Rome.
(My pastor ran into students in this program conducting a remarkable outreach in the Pantheon. They invited people in to rest, listen to music, get a drink and go to confession. He talked to the students and was very impressed!)
2) A nine month French language program in France
3) A German language formation program in Austria.
And for those of us who belong to the not-under-35-anymore gang
A Master's Program in the Theology of Evangelization. One year residency in Rome and one year distance learning. Co-Sponsored by the Lateran University and the Emmanual Community.
One very small, very Roman requirement besides your undergrad degree. You need to know four languages: your native tongue, Italian, and two others. For those with no theological background, there is a summer crash course available. No age limit.
Of course, there is the new Masters/STL program in the New Evangelization at Sacred Heart Seminary in Detroit.
Hmmmm. Rome or Detroit?
Hey, I'm thinking . . . How difficult could learning Italian be? I already know some: capuccino, lemoncello, ciao . . .
And then French. And how hard could it be to resurrect that high school German? Would a fading knowledge of Arabic grammer count . . .
