They are able to reach students around the world through their online learning community. I thought you might like to see what they have been doing to enhance spiritual development in the Catholic faith.<BR/><BR/>Here is some detail about CDU that comes from their website.<BR/>The Catholic Distance University was established in 1983 to respond to the need for life-long spiritual formation and a deeper knowledge of Church Teaching. CDU's mission calls for transmitting faithfully and systematically the teachings of Sacred Scripture, the living Tradition of the Church and the authentic Magisterium, as well as the spiritual heritage of the Fathers, Doctors and Saints.<BR/><BR/>I would be interested in finding out more about your work and sharing more about our work with CDU if you would like more information.<BR/><BR/>Tina BishopAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-1161797670086936892006-10-25T18:34:00.000+01:002006-10-25T18:34:00.000+01:00happy feast of the 40 martyrs!happy feast of the 40 martyrs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-1161781141671453162006-10-25T13:59:00.000+01:002006-10-25T13:59:00.000+01:00Just found and ordered a copy of Feasts and Season...Just found and ordered a copy of Feasts and Seasons from Amazon, US.<BR/><BR/>Wish you could cycle to my town and sign it. :><BR/><BR/>LilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-1161734708889001932006-10-25T01:05:00.000+01:002006-10-25T01:05:00.000+01:00Mr. Petek will be interested to learn that the art...Mr. Petek will be interested to learn that the artificial creation 'Humberside' has not existed for ten years now. Besides which Hull was still in Yorkshire when it was also in Humberside. Humberside was merely a governmental unit which administrated parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.<BR/><BR/>The Local Government Act 1972 did not abolish nor did it replace the traditional counties (with their traditional names and traditional boundaries), it merely created another set of administrative units, some of which were known as counties and others districts.<BR/><BR/>Thus Hull was and is in the East Riding of Yorkshire though it is not part of the unitary authority (another reform) which is also known as the East Riding of Yorkshire, since the city was made a unitary authority in its own right.<BR/><BR/>The confusion over what is in which county is widespread. To add to this confusion, there are a third set of county boundaries invented by the government, known as 'ceremonial counties', which each have a Lord Lieutenant.<BR/><BR/>It's all quite silly, if you ask me. They never should have changed them, but having changed them, they feel the need to keep on changing them. That's modernization for you!<BR/><BR/>But more to the point, hooray for Jamie's birthday! Prayers and best wishes for many more to come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-1161728867867782932006-10-24T23:27:00.000+01:002006-10-24T23:27:00.000+01:00Happy Birthday to Mr. B!:)Happy Birthday to Mr. B!<BR/><BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-1161727819016981612006-10-24T23:10:00.000+01:002006-10-24T23:10:00.000+01:00Sorry to nitpick, Joanna, but Fish City happens to...Sorry to nitpick, Joanna, but Fish City happens to be in Humberside, not Yorkshire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-1161725773881641232006-10-24T22:36:00.000+01:002006-10-24T22:36:00.000+01:00Joanna, Thank you mentioning the need for prayer c...Joanna, Thank you mentioning the need for prayer cover for the Pope on his trip to Turkey next mo.
