Belonging, Believing, Behaving

This workshop will guide participants through a reflection on what it means to establish the habits and practices that foster belonging, believing and behaving. The workshop will draw from the historic practice of Christian catechesis. Jesus calls the church to “make disciples” by “baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything that [he] commanded” (Matt 28:19-20). Participants will explore together how to cultivate a community of well-formed Christians by recovering the ancient-future practice of catechetical instruction, which constitutes a holistic approach to Christian discipleship.
