on the experiential aspect of baptism in the Spirit and its relationship
to Catholic spirituality and the sacraments. The five sessions

ALIVE IN THE SPIRIT GROWTH SEMINAR
A spiritual growth seminar providing foundational teaching for Catholic
charismatic groups
Presented
by Ron Ryan
Designed as a follow-up for Born of the Spirit or other charismatic
initiation seminars, this program offers five sessions on important topics for
Catholic charismatic spirituality: The Gifts of the Spirit, The Word of God,
The Mind of Christ, The Body of Christ, and The Call to Proclaim.
MORE THAN WE COULD ASK OR IMAGINE
Designed to help those baptized in the Spirit open themselves to
even greater experiences of God's power.
Presented by Ron
Ryan
Beginning with the belief that baptism in the Spirit is the norm for full
Christian life flowing from the sacraments of initiation, Ron Ryan challenges
his listeners to broaden the horizons for the Holy Spirit to work within and
through their lives. The sessions include:
Broadening Our Vision, Keeping the Fire Burning,
The Spirit Working Within,
Moving Mountains & Renewing Parishes, New Life for Families,
and
Setting the World on Fire
FAN INTO FLAME THE GIFTS YOU HAVE RECEIVED
The Documents of Vatican Council II state that every baptized person has
"charisms"--special ways in which the Holy Spirit empowers the members of the
body of Christ. The effectiveness of the church--and of our personal
lives--depends upon knowing and using the gifts we have received.
In this series, Ron Ryan discusses the
nature and role of charisms, the difference between charisms of service and
charismatic gifts, and offers suggestions for discerning our charisms. In
addition, he gives an overview of each of the nine charismatic gifts and shows
how they contribute to our growth in yielding to the work of the Spirit.
Sessions include:
Charisms:
Beyond Tongues & Prophecy;
Charismatic Gifts:
Training in the Ways of the Spirit;
Tongues, Interpretation, Prophecy; Wisdom, Knowledge, Discernment;
Miracles, Healings, Faith; Discerning Your Charisms
