Evangelization, Catechesis & Youth Ministry: A Symbiotic Relationship
By Dr. Soroj Mullick SDB
The article proves to know who is responsible for the youth catechesis at the national, diocesan and parish levels. Is there youth catechesis through the Youth Ministry, namely, AICYM? It resulted at distancing of YM from the faith education of the youth. This is so due to the lack of understanding of the goals, scope, contents and sequence of Youth Catechesis?
I have divided the article into following headings:
1. Youth Catechesis and a Comprehensive YM: Compelling and Complementary
2. Indian Catholic Church on Youth Ministry
3. Evangelization, Catechesis & Comprehensive YM: Defining Terms & Policies
4. Youth Pastoral Plan (its relation to catechesis)
5. The Context and Tasks of Catechesis
6. Alternative Theology, Context and Tasks of Youth Catechesis
- Theology of the Human Created in the Image of God
- A Context-based Catechesis
- Relevant Tasks of Youth Catechesis
7. Inculturated Youth Catechesis
8. Three Dimensional Spiritual Growth against Developmental Theories
9. Catechetical Youth Language
10. Innovative and Flexible Catechetical Input Sessions
11. Questions on Context-Related Issues for Youth Catechesis
Land, the Sacred Earth: A Study for Religious Education
The Indian psyche is in resonance with the experience of the cosmic immanence of the Divine in the natural world. As eco-sensitive people, we need to respect the land and its integrity. Our life and its success are rooted on where we live and move. Religion needs to go beyond the sacred ritualism (spiritualism) and meet to the rights and needs of the people. We are rooted in nature’s soil, air, water and food. The land and its location conditions, nourishes and shapes the culture of people, their imagination, action and relationship. This means, learning to live and share it as one community of the Trinitarian God. The land, being sacred we have to retrace back the neglected Biblical land ethics overcoming the ecological, economical and political land grabbing situation. Jesus’s coming is God’s incarnated cry for the People’s saving land with the view of the ultimate Kingdom. Debating on nature, man and God, therefore, becomes the soul-searching study for Religious Education, trying to contextualise Christian land ethics. Here we consider Jesus’ worldview of new earth and new heaven leading towards a nature and grace-filled land Theology.
