About this Course

“I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.”


This course builds on the doctrines of the Holy Spirit– covered in TS101 – as well the spiritual and vocational insights from CS101 and MM100. It looks at the many ways that the Church, drawing from Scripture, has reflected on and experienced the person and work of the Holy Spirit through the centuries. Using the 3rd article of the Nicene Creed as a springboard, topics include how the Holy Spirit makes the people of God holy, gives life to our creative and cultural endeavors, inspires spiritual grace and gifts, and includes us into the kinship and friendship of the Father and Son. Tutorials and self-paced readings will focus on primary sources while practical exercises will help us map our prayer temperaments and spiritual giftings.
