The section entitled Short Talks comprises stand-alone talks and articles on different aspects of the Christian Faith, including the teaching of Jesus, the seasons of the Church’s Year and Feasts and Festivals.·
Vocal and mental prayer
There are two kinds of prayer: vocal prayer and mental prayer. Vocal prayer is prayer using words either out loud or silently. So, for example, when we say the Our Father, out loud in church or silently in our heads when we are at home, that is vocal prayer.

Noah’s Ark
You will all remember the story of Noah’s ark in the Book of Genesis, and how Noah, having been warned by God that a terrible flood was coming, made an ark so that he and his family and the animals would be safe. When the flood came the water rose to a depth of over 15 cubits, that is, over 22 feet (Genesis 7:20), and as a result all the people in the area were drowned except for those in the Ark.
Alive and with us always
This is the final section of Introduction to the Christian Faith which was originally written as a three-year Catechism course for children; the style and language reflect this fact.
