Symbolon: The Faith of the Church Leader Guide
The Catholic faith is undeniably ancient, having lasted two thousand years. Is it possible for Catholicism to be both essential to daily life, and continually evolving over time?
The central teachings of the Catholic faith are presented in their unity, elegance, and vitality in Symbolon: The Faith of the Church. These beliefs were articulated in the Creed during the early Church, which served to designate the Church's faith and establish the identity of the Christians who professed it. This series adheres closely to the Creed. It demonstrates its inner logic, reveals the beauty of its teachings, and emphasizes the benefits it has brought to the world and continues to bear in the lives of its practitioners.
Sixteen episodes combine expert instruction, lived witness, and stunning cinematography to bring the ancient faith vividly into the contemporary world. Each episode weaves together Scripture, Tradition, history, and prayer. The ancient faith is vividly brought into the contemporary world through the combination of expert instruction, lived witness, and breathtaking cinematography in sixteen episodes. Scripture, tradition, history, and prayer are all interwoven in each episode. This teaching tapestry is both approachable and amiable, while also remaining true to the Magisterium. The Church and her faith are alive and ever-young, as viewers are transported to locations around the world on a pilgrimage. Some locations are magnificent, while others are modest. Some are distant, while others are well-known. However, these places together serve as a reminder that both the impressive and modest sites, whether remote or easily accessible, serve as a reminder that the extraordinary faith of the Church permeates our everyday existence, calls us forward, and continues to profoundly affect us in the present day.
Symbolon echoes our Lord’s proclamation two thousand years ago, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Mt 4:17). It shows this proclamation still resounds and calls us today. It invites us to seek the face of God and to discover that, all along, he has been seeking us.
