Carolinians challenged to be Indispensable Witnesses to the Word of God by: Melvin C. Tampus, MA The ReEd 10 students held their co-curricular activity Bible Enthronement last July 31 at the St. Arnold Janssen and St. Joseph Freinademitz Church. The students participated in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist wherein which their Bibles were blessed with holy water by the priest-presider. This was a solemn opportunity for the students to consider the relevance of the Word of God into their lives as Christians. The students were made to realize from the reading and homily the truth proclaimed in 2 Timothy 3:16-17: "All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living, so that the person who Reed students during the Eucharistic Celebration at St. Joseph Freinademetz Church serves God may be fully qualified and equipped to do every kind of good philosophy and religious studies deed." Definitely, to use the Bible is of vital importance as St. Jerome (c. 345-420 C E), a Doctor of Biblical Science, puts it that ―Ignorance of the Bible is ignorance of Christ‖. The ReEd students in general are incessantly reminded to: read and study, meditate upon, live out and share the truths revealed by the Holy Triune God in the Holy Scriptures. In this modern time of prevalent moral degeneration,Carolinians are constantly challenged to become authentic ―Witnesses to the Word‖. ReEd Teachers in their Spiritual Journey with Jesus Christ by: Melvin C. Tampus, MA ReEd faculty having their annual Spiritual Retreat, June 3-5 at Sto. Nino Spirituality Center, Tulotulo, Consolacion, Cebu The ReEd faculty ardently joined in their annual Spiritual Retreat last June 3-5 at the distinctively beautiful retreat house-- the Sto. Nino Spirituality Center, Tulotulo, Consolacion, Cebu. Their competent and vivacious facilitator was Fr. Valentino Pinlac, STL, STD. He finished his doctoral degree in Moral Theology from Accademia Alphonsiana, Rome, Italy and Master in Bioethics from Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, Universitta Cattolica del Sacro Coure, Rome, Italy. He is the current parish priest of San Antonio de Padua Parish in Tagbilaran City. Fr. ―Val‖ explored ―The Four Related Theological Movements‖ that superbly integrated Classical Christology, Ecclesiology, Sacramentology and Soteriology. He emphatically conveyed the point that: ―Christ came to us in his incarnation, emptied himself and took the form of a slave, gave Himself to us in the Eucharist as the nourishment for our body and soul, and promised us in His resurrection the life of a transformed humanity.‖ The sharing consequently contributed to our knowledge on the following themes: Incarnation of Jesus Christ, Earthly Life and Death of Christ, Institution of the Eucharist and Resurrection of Christ. The retreat participants also availed of the two important sacraments of the Holy Eucharist and Reconciliation providing them essential divine graces pertinent to their challenging mission of unwavering evangelization. The retreat positively provided an integral theological input that could somehow deepen the information, formation and transformation of the individual person. Right after the retreat, the ReEd faculty had their department meeting that communicated the plans and activities for the coming semester. Moreover, there was an occasion for the teachers to socialize through Now, Dr. Ryan Urbano by: Maria Majorie R. Purino, MA Ryan Urbano, a tenured faculty member of the Department of Philosophy,successfullydefended his Dissertation titled God, Religion, Atheism and Idolatry: Interpreting Some Religious Themes in Levinas’s Ethical Philosophy. Dr. Urbano‗s study explores the depth and the richness of the ethical and religious philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas. It particularly examines his thoughts on God, religion, atheism, and idolatry in order to highlight his significance in an age known as postmodern, generally characterized as secular and even godless. This study has also ventured to explicate how Levinas‘ thoughts on religion can help address contemporary issues on religious pluralism, fundamentalism, and dialogue. Dr. Urbano completed his Masters in Philosophy in USC in 1998 and Masters in Applied Ethics in Linköping University, Sweden and Utrecht University, The Netherlands in 2008. He is now handling several subjects in Philosophy both minor and major subjects like Contemporary Philosophy in the undergraduate and the philosophy of Levinas in the graduate school. *** singing and dancing that supplemented their relational enhancement. ―All glory to the Holy Triune God‖ for that noteworthy retreat that challenged the ReEd teachers in their quest towards authentic Christian holiness.
