Description
The lectionary, worship, prayer and baptismal living form the core of the apprenticeship model of a modern-day catechumenate. These disciplines also form catechumenal congregations that seek to welcome and make disciples who are incorporated more deeply into the church's life, faith and mission. Lutheran, Methodist, Roman Catholic, Episcopal and Evangelical models of a modern-day catechumenate are studied along with examples from the early church. The goal is to develop plans for creating catechumenal congregations formed around discipleship and disciple-making.
