CONFIRMATION 1 CLASS NOTES AND RESOURCES FOR FURTHER STUDY
FIRST CLASS

If you were absent this class, please watch the video above and complete the online quiz before the next class, link here.
The slides used by Fr. Anthony can be found here.
Below are videos that were shown at the class. For most of you, this was brand new information, and it was probably hard to process it all. I recommend you watch the videos (each one is only about five minutes long)a few times in order to better understand the arguments. Feel free to ask questions about them at the next class, or at any time.
I also mentioned two arguments against the existence of God. One of them is divine hiddenness. An excellent article on that topic can be found here. The other is the problem of evil, which I respond to in a video below.
SECOND CLASS
At the second Confirmation 1 class, Father Anthony gave an overview of the entire Bible in his lesson on Salvation History. You can download his Power Point presentation here.
