Religious Education

We are happy to present to you a whole issue devoted to religious education. Many of our European colleagues appear here—some for the first time. Permit me simply to highlight some of the ample fare that awaits our readers.

"The Christian faith must now reflect on its own 'content' and on those original forms that made possible the continuity of faith up to the present."

"Only when Revelation and faith are totally integrated do they, in their unity, meet all human situations and generations."

"The crisis of catechesis and of the sources of our faith must be addressed if catechesis is to remain a vital function of the Church."

"We must understand the genesis of the catechism to prepare for its 'rebirth' in our own day."

"Traditional moral education, like life, gives us stories and models to live by."

"At the very heart of catechesis is the person of Jesus Christ who teaches us and is communicated."

"Education in morality must aid students to develop Christian ethical standards and take responsibility for their own moral lives."
