PMIN 2322 Faith Development and Catechesis in a Multicultural Context

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