Faith Formation

This seminar (3-week course) views faith formation in light of covenant theology, and therefore as a lifelong reality. Key to this reality is how the stages of human relationship correlate with the often gradual process of coming to the faith. Understanding this helps a disciple to closely accompany a person from a hesitant curiosity to fully embracing the faith, and delving deep into its mysteries. The seminar situates and differentiates the stages of formation, and enables the participant to see indicators that the one whom they are accompanying is ready to be encouraged to take the next step. The seminar offers the participant the opportunity to reflect on his or her life as a means to realizing the providential movement of the Spirit in his or her own life, which enables one to attend the life story of another through spiritual accompaniment.
