A Letter from the President
Over the last several years, there has been a great awakening among the Church Militant. Answering the call for a New Evangelization, young and old have stepped to the frontlines in an effort to spread the Good News about the teachings of Christ, as preserved for two-thousand years by the Catholic Church.
One area of that evangelization is apologetics, which has its roots in the earliest days of Christianity, as such spiritual soldiers as St. John Chrysostom and Ignatius of Antioch heralded truth against the heresies of the day. Apologetics, the act of explaining and defending truth, is needed now more than ever to cut through the noise of secular society, godlessness, and false teachings.
- High profile groups are using popular media to present messages contrary to a consistent understanding of Scripture and Sacred Tradition.
- Print and television fiction regularly takes aim at the Christian faithful and the teachings that secular society has rejected.
- Our youth are pulled in, through peer pressure and misinformation, to philosophies and trends that endanger their relationships with God.
In addition to our Church leaders, God has blessed us with many resources for catechesis, such as internet and hundreds of new print titles. However, there is little replacement for the work that can be done when two or three come together in Christ’s name. For a few years now, Apologetics from Scratch ministries has worked to provide talks and resources for individuals in the mid-Missouri area. Just recently, the ministry was officially incorporated and is now filing for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.
