Description
Summary:This article investigates which theoretical notions of faith learning can support the integration of church catechesis with parental involvement in faith formation. Based on a discussion of theories of the church as a learning community, four foundational notions of faith learning are identified: faith learning as (1) learning in life, (2) learning in relation, (3) intergenerational learning and (4) emancipatory learning. Next, the implications of these notions for pedagogical challenges faced by faith communities are addressed, and their relevance for academic reflections on catechesis practices are discussed.
