The January 1979 issue of The Eucharistic Catholic Via, the monthly newsletter of the Church of the Beloved Disciple, offers a vivid snapshot of parish life at the beginning of 1979.

The issue also inaugurates Fr. Mark Bradley's series On Being Gay and Christian, reflects on the church's understanding of Catholic identity and apostolic succession, and chronicles the community's expanding outreach, seminary, and public ministry.
