Transforming Christian education and discipleship in the Church

 
 

 

Many Christians today never receive a foundational introduction to the faith. As a result, they never really grow in the Christian life. They remain, as St. Paul put it, like little children, “tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine” (Eph. 4:4).

The Catechesis Institute is a research and teaching center dedicated to retrieving classical models of church-based education for a post-Christendom world. Rooted in the Anglican tradition, with an ecumenical scope, the Catechesis Institute provides resources, training, and networking for pastors, scholars, and teachers at any level.

Above all, we seek a widespread renewal of the church through biblical, historical, and theological models of teaching and forming the faithful.

What is a Catechumenate? This video, produced by Fr. Ryan Jones, explains the vision for a 21st-century catechumenate.

 

Where wise catechesis has flourished, the church has flourished.
— J.I. Packer
