The latest from CHNetwork
Are you leading OCIA classes this year? We have free resources to assist you along the way!
This week’s episode of The Journey Home was a fascinating tour through the last 40 years of American ecumenical dialogue with Dr. Kent Hill, who shared his journey from Nazarene to Catholic.
On a new Deep in Christ, JonMarc Grodi and Dr. Ian Murphy discussed the importance of learning to see ourselves as God sees us, rather than seeing ourselves as a problem to be solved.
We shared an On the Journey short discussing the Catholic take on the Positional vs Practical Holiness debate.
And on the latest Signposts, with Halloween approaching, we shared Nora Jensen’s journey from Wicca to Christ.

CONVERTS AND CONVERSION
Dr. Matthew Wiseman talked to Catholic World Report about his journey from the Hebrew Roots Movement to the Catholic Church.
Baptist convert Randy Hain reflected on how to share your faith with fallen-away Catholics.
And a Spanish woman who was an atheist for 35 years shares the powerful moment of conversion she experienced when visiting the tomb of Pope John Paul II.
APOLOGETICS PICKS OF THE WEEK
Pope Francis this week released an encyclical on the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Read the whole thing here.
And in light of a recent anti-Catholic film, the rector of Washington, D.C.’s Catholic seminary explained why only men can be ordained to the Catholic priesthood.

A member who’s struggling with the Catholic perspective on justification, another member who’s trying to become Catholic without alienating their Evangelical friends, and all our members who are learning new things and making new friends in OCIA — these are just a few of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
