Facilitating Growth in Faith

(1 Credit Hour) · Undergraduate

"Facilitating Growth in Faith" serves as a practicum allowing the Mentors in Faith from the NDVision Summer Program to reflect theologically on their catechetical ministry with high school students during each of four, one-week sessions. As such, this course will complete the educational objectives begun in Theology 30018. As a field education integrative seminar, this course will include interactive lectures, small group discussion sessions, and case study work on topics having to do with mentoring others in their personal and communal growth in faith and in their awareness of how to live their Christian vocations. Related theological topics include Christological and pneumatological perspectives on discipleship, grace, conversion, evil and human suffering, prayer, living the sacramental/liturgical life of the Church, becoming the Body of Christ, discerning the presence and action of God in our lives, and giving witness to faith in service and justice.
