During its first annual congress in Pennsylvania, the Theology of the Body Institute presented five awards to organizations and individuals for their work in promoting the late John Paul II's teachings on human sexuality.
The 2010 Theology of the Body Institute Awards for Distinguished Achievement were presented at the banquet dinner on Thursday evening during the July 28 – 30 event in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania.
“As we prepared for this first National Theology of the Body Congress, the planning committee and the Theology of the Body Institute Board felt it was important to recognize organizations and men and women who have been pioneers in the advancement of the teaching of the Theology of the Body,” said David Savage, Institute Chairman of the Board.
Speaking on the five who were honored, Savage said that the “decisions were not easy for this first year.”
