                                                    About It

                                                    Chris Stefanick tackles all the tough
                                                    questions about relativism by
                                                    showing how bankrupt and
                                                    impractical it is.
We would like to thank the Families
Together Ministry and the Picnic                    Using a down-to-earth, easily
                                                    accessible question-and-answer
Committee for all their hard work in                format, Absolute Relativism shows
planning and executing a phenomenal                 that far from being the answer to
event that brought our parish community             world peace - or even personal
                                                    peace of mind - relativism suffers
together.                                           from a self-destructive rot.
