By including Catholic social teaching among the essentials of the faith, the bishops are affirming the existence of credenda (things to be believed) that become, in the believer, a basis for the agenda (things to be done) the believer must follow. Thus Catholic social action flows from Catholic social doctrine. How to bring the social portion of the doctrine of the faith to the attention of believers is the challenge the bishops have now put once again before Catholic pastors and educators at every level.Byron, William J. ''Ten building blocks of Catholic Social Teaching.'' America 31 Oct, 1998. Continue reading...

For EL250, a brief quotation from the assigned text, together with a non-obvious question or observation, that you will be prepared to talk about if called on in class. Post it at least 24 hours before the class discussion. (It's part of "React," the second "R" in the RRRR sequence.)
For each assigned reading, leave about two to four comments responding to other people's agenda items. The best comments will be supported with page numpers or direct quotations from the works we are studying.
Return later, in order to see whether anyone has responded to your own comment, and continue the discussion.
Print out your agenda item shortly before class. (I may not always collect it, but having it in class with you will help you remember what you wrote about.)
For extra participation points, try to get a conversation going. Test out ideas, acknowledge when a peer has changed your mind, quote from the books in order to challenge (politely) your peers' claims, and quote from the books in order to support your own claims when challenged.
