Hello Larry,
I am in the new Candidate program and trying to complete HW for our October meeting.
There are TWO CONFLICTING ASSIGNMENTS on the website. Could you please clarify? We were told to work on “Dominican Spirituality” by William Hinnebusch…not the OP gentleman listed under “Candidate” and “Candidacy”. If these (under CANDIDACY or CANDIDATE are relevant for former years…and not the current year…shouldn’t they be removed?
Any guidance will be appreciated!!
\Thank you,
Pat Bradley

Just focus on the assignments under ‘Candidacy’ at this link http://3optn.com/main/candidacy2014. Anything under Spiritual Theology is in the past for us. It’s left up because there were some in our Chapter that requested it and because there are other Chapters that are still using it and we’re the only ones that have it available.
