PMIN 2322 Faith Development and Catechesis in a Multicultural Context

This course examines theories of human development (e.g. Erikson and Maslow) to better understand how cultural values and beliefs are transmitted throughout the life cycle. This will serve as a context for exploring ways to guide children, teens, and adults in faith formation and catechesis. Students will learn the importance of a wholistic approach to catechesis that builds on cultural values congruent with the Gospel. The course will offer various models for family-centered and multi-generational catechesis that are culturally relevant and consistent with Church teachings.
