Catechesis and the Catechumenate: echoing God's word

Lectionary-Based Catechesis : Downloads

These downloads are in the form of PDF files -- two sheets of A4 making a folded A5 leaflet. Each leaflet contains all that is needed for individual or group to study and reflect on for the main Sunday service:
1. Title/week number/date information
2. List of readings for Principal Service (Church of England)
3. Opening Prayer
4. Text of gospel reading
5. Comments and questions for discussion
6. Quotations, for further discussion or meditation
7. List of topics for further research/teaching
8. Closing prayer

There is a sheet for catechists to use to structure the sessions: catechist guidelines

This is an ongoing project and the resources sheets for many of the weeks are not yet available.
