THEOLOGY OF THE BODY with Christopher West is for all teens and adults, November 9/10, interested in learning about  Pope John Paul II's profoundly beautiful vision of human embodiment and erotic love. A profound interconnection between sex and the Christian mystery, John Paul's theology paves the way for lasting renewal of marriage and the family, and enables everyone to rediscover "the meaning of the whole of existence, the meaning of life."  Visit www.stjohnnb.com  and click on Theology of the Body Conference on the homepage, or call (612) 616-4013.
