TIM STAPLES
“THE BIBLE MADE ME CATHOLIC”
Sydney Tour - July 2009
Yes, that’s right!
Sydney will witness an ex-Baptist and Pentecostal minister give testimony and defence to the catholic faith… FROM THE BIBLE !
So who is Tim Staples?
Tim Staples was raised a Southern Baptist. Although he fell away from the faith of his childhood, Tim came back to faith in Christ during his late teen years through the witness of Christian televangelists. Soon after, Tim joined the Marine Corps. During his four-year tour, he became involved in ministry with various emblies of God communities. Immediately after his tour of duty, Tim enrolled in Jimmy Swaggart Bible College and became a youth minister in an embly of God community.
During his final year in the Marines, however, Tim met a Marine who really knew his faith and challenged Tim to study Catholicism from Catholic and historical sources. That encounter sparked a two-year search for the truth. Tim was determined to prove Catholicism wrong, but he ended up studying his way to the last place he thought he would ever end up: the Catholic Church!
He converted to Catholicism in 1988 and spent the following six years in formation for the priesthood, earning a degree in philosophy from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Overbrook, Pennsylvania. He then studied theology on a graduate level at Mount St. Marys Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland, for two years.
Realizing that his calling was not to the priesthood, Tim left the seminary in 1994 and has been working in Catholic apologetics and evangelization ever since.

Tim will be spending one week in Sydney from 5th July - 11th July, giving talks on the Catholic faith at numerous locations across the Sydney Archdiocese.

The week will end with the all day conference displaying some of Sydney’s great speakers including guest apologist Raymond De Souza.
