This is a basic teaching tool for use by NFP teachers. It covers three areas: Church teaching; an overview of the CMBBT Method and an NFP couple's witness. The format is simple, e.g., one or two people speaking directly to the camera. The content however, needs to be supplemented. For this reason, this video should be used only by people who are well versed in Church teaching on human sexuality and NFP.
