Evaluating adolescent catechesis.
- Authors
Widstrom, Laura
- Abstract
The article evaluates the effectiveness of adolescent catechetical curricula in fostering Christian discipleship. With statistics revealing that ten percent of Americans are former Catholics and that one third of Catholics born in the U.S. are no longer practicing their faith, Catholic church leaders are anxious to understand why so many young people are leaving the church and what tools might be effective in reversing the trend. The Youth in Theology and Ministry program is described.
