Description:  Participants will examine the essential elements involved in presenting the Christian message. In addition, the dynamic relationship between the “readiness” of the learner, knowledge retention, and catechetical methods/materials will be considered — as will deductive and inductive teaching methods. Significant time will be devoted to a variety of processes (planning models) for designing and leading catechetical experiences.
