For families seeking to deepen their faith together.

"Where Two or Three are Gathered" guides your family’s faith

You’ll build a stronger, loving home rooted in Christ.

Discover how your family can be a vital part of the faith community with Florence Bourg's insightful exploration of the domestic church.

Since its retrieval by the Second Vatican Council, the idea of Christian families as "domestic churches" has slowly but steadily gained favor among Catholics. Striking a careful balance between academic theology and practical spirituality, Florence Caffrey Bourg provides a comprehensive analysis of the home and family as one of the most authentic and important locations of the faith community. Bourg draws on literature pertaining to domestic churches from the period of Vatican II to the present to explore the concept of domestic church in relation to the Catholic theological traditions of sacramentality, virtue, and the consistent ethic of life. Bourg examines the role of families - as basic cells of society and church - in character education, formation of religious identity and vision, and creation of more just social structures. She provides a foundational treatment of Christian family life as a proper concern of systematic theology, especially ecclesiology. Her analysis leads her to conclude that the increasing interest in domestic church presents a consensus-building opportunity the Catholic church cannot afford to ignore.
