We are back with some more on Lindbeck. I have a few posts on other topics planned in the coming weeks, so I am going to pick up with numbering the posts on Lindbeck, and titling the other posts otherwise. If this gets too confusing, I’ll figure out another approach.
Is there a term for this type of Christian practice more in line with “bearers of normative realities to be interiorized”? Maybe that’s a silly question, but it seems we have those other two poles defined in the last few posts.
Christian formation has been on my mind a lot as I try to pick apart my own upbringing and what draws me to the Anglican tradition. It’s the church calendar, the spiritual disciplines, the liturgy. Classic, I know.
So this is perhaps a tangent, but a few Catholic friends of mine have mentioned The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program - for children in parishes. Out of curiosity, and because I have young kids, I picked up a copy of the book written by the creator it. So far the approach seems to be in line with that “bearers of normative realities to be interiorized”. It is heavy on presenting both scripture and liturgy in ways that let the child receive the truth by way of that kind of embodied solidification of it. Not just a top-down teacher way, and not just leaving everything up to their own experience. To me that makes sense, and not just for kids. Haha
Don’t worry my dear, we’ll get there.
