Baptismal Catechesis

Bishop John Bauerschmidt
Commentary, Liturgy, The Episcopal Church
I think that we have given the idea of lowering expectations about Christian identity and catechesis at the point of entry a thorough exploration over the past fifty years or so. The 1979 Prayer Book calls us to a different standard, to live more fully into the church’s vocation as a baptizing community.

ARCIC III, Walking Together on the Way: Learning to Be the Church—Local, Regional, Universal

Bishop John Bauerschmidt
Analysis, Commentary, Ecclesiology, The Episcopal Church
ARCIC III is convinced that, just as a return to the sources of tradition in Scripture, liturgy, and the Patristic and Scholastic periods (ressourcement) has been renewing both Anglican and Roman Catholic theology since the middle of the last century, so critical self-examination through the prism of ecumenical dialogue and receptive learning can deepen the renewal and participation of the Church in the Trinitarian communion of God.
