Making Christians: Instruction in the Basic Teaching of Christ

The second century church leader, Tertullian of Carthage argued that Christians “are made, not born.” This workshop will equip lay and ordained church leaders to prepare candidates for baptism through instruction in “the basic teaching of Christ” (Heb 6:1-2). Participants will learn how for centuries Christians passed on the basic teaching of Christ, and explore how retrieving the practice of catechesis might equip the church to be more faithful and effective in following the call to make disciples.
