2018 Foundations Talk | 55:17 | K-6, General Classroom
Summary
Throughout history catechisms were used to firmly ground new believers who came to faith in Christ from a variety of world-views and religions. Catechisms not only give children and new believers a language for the faith, but through the act of catechizing, the teacher is able to train children to love the right things. This workshop will examine the history of catechisms in the Church, the dark implications of neglecting purposeful catechisms, and the effectiveness of using a question and answer format in the classroom. While certainly useful for training in theology, the catechism format can also be used for training students to love any number of things, from standards in your school, to times tables and history facts.
