| Testimony from national leaders A tool for discipleship Faith, Life & Creed is an excellent curriculum for RCIA programs, and indeed for adult Catholic faith development across the board. It weaves together a comprehensive study of Catholic faith from the church’s Scriptures, liturgy, doctrine, and moral teachings. Further, it gives people ready access to this rich “story and vision” of Catholic faith through a participative process, one that weaves conversation and presentation together. In this way it highlights the spirituality of our faith, that it should be put to work in our lives. By God’s grace, this program will be a most likely instrument to bring people to discipleship and intimacy with Jesus—the goal of all catechesis. Thomas Groome Professor of Theology and Religious Education and Chair of IREPM Boston College Helps you grow in faith Traditional, yet fresh. That’s the Catholic Church. And that is Catholic catechesis. But how can you best know the tradition? And how can you make it fresh for people right now, this week? Mary Birmingham, one of our most trusted catechists, provides all you need in an online resource that is faithful and creative. If you wish that you could do a better job sharing the faith you hold and that God ever makes new, check out Faith, Life & Creed. Rev. Paul Turner Pastor, St. Munchin Catholic Church Cameron, Missouri Helps you connect liturgy with catechesis Faith, Life and Creed does not only catechize about the liturgy but emphasizes that the liturgy is the "privileged place for catechizing the People of God" (CCC, 1074). The spiral scope and sequence integrates the scriptures, doctrine, liturgy and life as the feasts and seasons unfold throughout the year .This resource is not a "one size fits all;" but provides options for exploring and praying the variety of doctrinal themes found in the readings and inherent in the liturgical season. Reflecting upon their own life experience in the context of the liturgical year, participants come to new insight about what it means to be a Christian. This is a well thought out, well prepared set of materials not only for catechumens but for adult faith formation sessions. Mary Birmingham, out of rich experience, creativity, study and deep faith again provides a creative and practical guide that will be of value to all those who are on "the way!" Kate Dooley, O.P.
