Congress 1994

My Dear Friends in Christ:

May I take this opportunity to share with all of you who participate in this year's Religious
Education Congress my prayers and best wishes for a successful Congress.

The theme selected for Congress weekend, LIVE THE PROMISE, speaks of God's
covenanted love --a gift freely given to our human family. This promise of Covenant is
the foundation and source of our hope. God is our God, and we are a people called to
enter into this special relationship by heeding the words of Jesus: "This is the time of
fulfillment. The reign of God is at hand! Reform your lives and believe in the good
news!" (Mk 1:15)

To LIVE THE PROMISE calls us to ongoing conversion and response to God's saving
presence among us. Because of God's unconditional promise of love and faithfulness, we
can live with a spirit of trust even in the midst of the inevitable struggles and ambiguities
of daily life.

I am confident that Congress 1994 will be a wonderful opportunity for all of you to come
together and be enriched by the many workshops, Liturgical celebrations, and community
gatherings. It is in and through our community that we grow in the challenge of Christ's
words and actions.

Please be assured of my support and encouragement as you continue to pass on the good
news of God's promise of love and faithfulness, and as you encourage our young Catholic
generation to hear and follow the voice of Christ.

Asking the Lord's blessings upon you and all your efforts in religious education and
ministry, I am

..

Dear Friends,

Welcome to another grace-filled Religious Education Congress. We have a wonderful

theme to focus our gathering: "Live the Promise." The promise is God's faithfulness,
God's desire to walk among the human family and to keep on renewing the bonds of
love and pledge of new life. God's covenanted love gives us the assurance of a
presence that continues through time and space, and is experienced right in the heart
of our lives, our world today. It is the power that beckons us to walk lightly and
courageously in the face of life's struggles and ambiguities.

Congress 1994, again, offers many outstanding workshops, opportunities for

enrichment, community gatherings and a variety of liturgical experiences.

It is with great joy that I greet you, and hope that the weekend will be a time of
celebration, and spiritual renewal for all of you.

Sincerely,

BUILDING AMIDST THE RUINS: LIVING BY THE PROMISE

Rev. Richard Fragomeni
We are living within an age of social, cultural and religious disintegration. Amidst these
ruins, rests the promise ofthe Cross, proffering new life and hope in an age ofdespair. Living
by this promise, catechists, liturgists, educators, and religious leaders are called to be
heralds of a vision of compassion that the world cannot give. Christ Crucified is the vision
and promise. It is the resurrection-covenant to all creation. In the wounds of Christ; we
are urged on this passionate love to be built anew unto the glory of God.

lA RETURNINGS: LIFE AFTER DEATH
EXPERIENCES IN THE CHRISTIAN CONTEXT
We're talking ghosts here. But not in the usual sense.
If resurrection was an unusual event which
confounded even Jesus' closest friends, why haven't
we also updated and revised our usual ideas about
ghosts? Our dead loved ones do return. The question
now is when and how. This workshop will offer a
completely new and challenging perspective on
resurrection theology.

lC RE-IMAGINING EVANGELIZATION
This session will review the basicconstructandoperation
of the human imagination- especially how imagination
intuits the inadequacy of the present and the need to
dream a new future. The predominant part of the
workshop will be on getting beyond programs to get
bodies into churches, to focus rather on the prophetic,
redemptive experience of God's reign, personal and
corporate conversion, and parishes moving into a
modality of mission.

1M JOURNEY TO COMPASSION
To the Israelites, nothing in human behavior reflected
the face of God as much as compassion. It was the most
unmistakable characteristic of the divine. It was the
most important resource for the living of the promise.
What is compassion? What brings it to birth in us? This
practical, poignant talk explores this facet ofGod-life in
each of us from Biblical and every day perspectives.

We as a covenanted people gather Sunday after Sunday
to respond to God's word among us. We do so in our own

that our response might be ''full, conscious, and active!"

ourselves that we live on promises and the stuff of
dreams coming true.

2A FAMILY CENTERED SPIRITUALITY
During the '60's and '70's, we grew up in a distinctly
family oriented society. But when we lost our
neighborhoods, we became fearful for our children and
created a child-centered society. As a result, we have
created a generation of self-centered children. Our
challenge today is to build a family spirituality for the
'90's.

Christian maturity?

three processes in a creative synthesis; 5) letting one's

the gospel.

3J CHAOS AND SNOWFLAKES INCATECHETICAL
PRESENTATIONS
This session will use the elements of chaos theory to
show how to develop catechetical presentations unique
to the journey of each one catechized, no matter each
one's age - from pre-school though "elementary- high
school," from young adulthood through mature
adulthood. By shaping the presentation to the person
rather than the person to the content, we create a
community of God's active snowflakes, not more of the
world's technological reactive ice cubes!

3K CELEBRATING THE WORD WITH CHILDREN: A
SEPARATE UTURGY OF THE WORD ON SUNDAY
What do children hear when God's Word is proclaimed?
Do children really'understand'the Word? How can we
help children celebrate the Word in their every day
lives. Should children be removed from the main
assembly on Sunday for a separate Liturgy of the
Word? Do children "hear" what adults hear? IF you
love children and want to share God's Word with them,
we invite you to bring your enthusiasm and be ready
to participate. This workshop will demonstrate a
Celebration of the Word from start to finish.

3M "TOTAL CATECHESIS: OUR MOST PROMISING
FUTURE" (T. Groome)
As we approach the end ofa century andofa millennium,
many people have a strong intuition that the
responsibility to "share our faith" at this time is more
challenging than ever before, that we are in need of
alternative models for effective catechesis. In dialogue
with the Catechism of the Catholic Church, this
workshop will propose "total catechesis" as our ''most
promising future." (See next page for biographical)

(J. Kempf)
A humorous, engaging presentation (with
demonstrations), geared especially for those who work
with children (catechists, homilists, etc.) but good f9r
all who are called on to try to express what we believe.
Some ofthe operative principles to be presented include:
When doggie lies down on your altar ... (life's surprises
are always better than theory) Unless you are better
than Jesus... (permission to laugh, to cry) and Oops!
(subtitle: ''Wondrous Failure"). Anyone involved in
religious education who finds saying things like" 'Tell
me again - why are we doing this?" might find this
presentation encouraging.

3R THE SACRAMENT OF OUR LIVES
Many ofus grew up thinking of sacraments as The Seven
Sacraments; rare and important life events that occuned
as part of a Church ritual. Recent theological writing call
us to expand this concept to the holiness of everyday life.
A sacrament is a sign ofgrace: it points to the presence of
God in itself and everywhere. Using stories and humor of
mundane moments, this talk illuminates the sacred in the
ordinary and encourages us to experience the daily,
immediate revelation of God's love as we live out the
promise.
Patricia Livingston
3S THESOU~ULEDUCATOR
Education tends to be a purely intellectual activity,
sometimes compensated by experiments in body and
emotion. The soul is often neglected. Soulful education
does not aim at information; skills, or understanding,
though these goals of course are valid. It focuses on
imagination, the individual odyssey toward values and
passionate, reflective participation in life. Grounded
spirituality is also a m~orelement. How does an educator
aocomplish all this?

3W COLLABORATIVE MINISTRY: IS rT POSSIBLE?
Unless we become a church of collaborative ministry,
we will be ineffectual in carrying out the Lord's mission.
Collaborative ministry, though, is messy. To be
collaborative we must be clear, convinced, committed
and capable. This workshop will explore each of these
issues.

4A A NEW RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARISH,
FAMILY AND SCHOOL FOR THE 90's
The crisis of our times demands a new vision. As the
Parish was at one time our "second home", it can today
become our new"neighborhood". A place where we are
both connected to a higher purpose in our lives and can
celebrate it sacramentally: The Parish, the Family and
the School all must be mutually supportive of each
other.
Fr. Thomas Allender S. J
L?4B COLORS: STORIES FOR THOSE WHO TALK
ABOUT THE KINGDOM
Stories have a way ofgetting to the heart of the matter.
It's not always easy to reach people. Jesus knew that,
which is why he told parables. This workshop will
present a variety of original stories covering such
issues as marriage, art, ambition, disabilities, courage,
death and resurrection.
Fr. John R. Aurelio
C THE LORDSHIP OF CHRIST
This session will deal with issues ofsocialjustice and
the Christian faith. The speaker will share his personal
thoughts as to why we Christians continue to hurt one
another so, and why so many people are feeling
dispossessed from the promise. Scripture will be relied
on heavily for this session, and participants are
encouraged to bring a Bible if possible.

our time, 2) the genuine meaning of contemplation, 3)
five helps toward contemplation for our everyday
existence. Claims that such contemplation is highly
significant for Christian existence.
Walter J. Burghardt S.J.
~E CATECHESIS FOR CRISIS TIMES
Where is God when it hurts? It is easy to have faith
when things are going well. How do we continue to
believe when the world falls apart? Is it possible, in
catechesis, to prepare people for those ~oments? This
workshop will explore the need for a useable theology
of euffering and the impact a crisis has on the life of a
family and its faith.
Kathleen Chesto, Ph.D.

her doctorate in Ministry from Hartford Seminary and an
MA in Religious Studies from St. Joseph College.
4F EUCHARIST: HEART OF CHRISTIAN LIFE AND
OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION WHAT CAN THAT
MEAN IN TODAY'S REAL WORLD?
Are we putting the cart before the horse? Are we
focusing on the Eucharist as a Celebration more than
on the Eucharist as a mystery to be experienced and
celebrated at the heart ofour daily life? This concerns
all of us in our own lives and in all our ministries.

4H TODAY'S FAMILIES, TOMORROW'S CHURCH
The church of tomorrow depends for its viability on
how we relate to, understand, and nourish the families
of today. The most basic unit of the church is the
family--in its various forms--not the parish. Parishes
are called to focus their ministries on people's primary
relationships by adopting a family perspective.

4J THE HEART OF CATECHESIS:THE SPIRITUALITY
OF THE CATECHIST
From God'ssideofourcovenant, the ''heart" ofChristian
catechesis is the ''heart" of Jesus Christ. But from our
side and responsibility, it is our own spirituality, our
relationship with God in Jesus Christ, that makes the
"difference." This workshop will reflect on the
spirituality of the catechist, and how to keep our
''hearts alive."
Thomas H. Groome, Ph.D.
(o 4K SO YOU'RE NOT UPTO FORGIVING? HELPING
CHILDREN PRAY THROUGH FORGIVING
(M. Halpin)
You can't give what you don't have. To help children let
God help them forgive means we need to experience it
ourselves. ''What's it like for you when you are treated
badly?" begins our looking at unfairness; how to deal
with it; why it's so difficult; what it means and why
compassion needs to be a way oflife. Input, reflection,
discussion, phantasy, prayer will be used for ourselves,
and through us, for the children.

4Q STORYTELLING AND YOUR LIFESTORY v
Our richest resource as storytellers are the events in
and around our own lives. Some have the natural
ability to tap this rich resource while others let it go
unmined. How can we get better in touch with the
revelatory events in our lives and, once we've identified
them, how do we give them a story shape that's
truthful, artful and compelling? Using examples from
their repertoire of first-person stories (Wheat and
Weeds and the Wolf of Gubbio, Sheed & Ward) Nancy
and Graziano will demonstrate how to recognize the
"burning heart" moments in our lives and how to craft
them into stories that will enhance ministry at every
level.

4R RECONCILIATION: MEANING AND MODELS
The SacramentofReconciliationseemsto be a problem.
Underneath, there are two problems. We are unclear
about the sacrament's meaning, about sin, and about
absolution. And we don't know what effective
reconciliation looks like. This session will provide a
vision and make concrete suggestions for celebrating
Reconciliation in the parish.

4 T JESUS: MORE THAN A JEWISH MESSIAH
Jesus was surely a Jew and the Jesus movement owes
a great deal to the Judaism from which it developed.
But the way of Jesus belongs to every people and

presentation, Fr. Pachence draws upon the insights of
H.R. Niebuhr in adiscussionofthe relationship between
Christ and the cultures in which he is incarnated.

4U CALLED TO LOVE: CONlROLLED BY FEAR
God's call to each ofus is to Live the Promise oflove. All
too often we are like the steward who buried his single
talent because he was afraid. Being in touch with the
many ways fear has and does touch our lives is both

SK LEARNINGTHEOLOGVORDOINGTHEOLOGV?
Thedevelopmentoftheology in the 19th and early 20th
centuries within the Church led to the belief that
theology is a fiXed reality which only needs to be
learned by the faithful ofall times and ofall places. But
the history of theology shows that the Church has, in
fact, been doing theology all the time. It had been
relating the tradition to every contemporary situation.
The reaffirmation of this practice by Vatican II poses
to ue the challenge of doing theology ourselves for our
times. How do we go about it?

6P THE PRIMACY OF JOY
In the words of a famous old Jewish saying: ''We will
have to give account on the judgment day ofevery good
thing which we refused to enjoy when we might have
done so." Joy can easily be down graded to a superfiCial
effervescence, but is actually the consummation of
morality and religion. Jesus was criticized for feasting
and making merry while John the Baptist has fasted
(Mark 2: 18-19). Of course, biblical joy has a social
conscience sincehealthyjoycannot be full while sisters
and brothers are in misery.

While the answers aren't easy, nevertheless some will

6W CONVERSION AND REDEMPTION IN THE 1990'S
Of course God is love. Surely we each have inherent
worth and dignity. These are core beliefs emphasized
in the decades since Vatican II. If so, then who needs
"redemption''? Who needs "conversion''? From What?
to What? Theepeakerwilldustoffsomeoftenoverlooked
dimensions of''living the promise.'~ No, not a return to
guilt and damnation, but a realistic look at redemption
and conversion, a '90s reflection. Inspirational,
insightful, challenging and uplifting.

7A WHAT DO GRASSROOTS, ACTION AND
COMPASSION All HAVE IN COMMON?--
TECHNIQUES FOR BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL
SOCIAL MINISTRY
In this fast paced session, Mary Cunningham Agee will
share her personal experience in creating and directing
one of the fastest growing nationwide charities. The
Nurturing Network is a grassroots ministry of over
17,000 volunteers from all over America who provide
all of the practical support a woman needs in order to
continue her pregnancy. How did she turn personal
suffering into the answer to a prayer for thousands of
mothers experiencing an unplanned pregnancy? How
did she translate her experience and skills from
corporate America into an effective Christian outreach
born in her family room? How can you apply these
same techniques to build or expand an effective, social
ministry with high growth, low overhead and dramatic
results.
Mary Cunningham Agee
7B IMAGINING GOD'S PEOPLE
Faith is communicated not so much by words as by the
images words conjure up. In Christian education, it is
therefore important that the people who appear in
scripture are not figures from the past with difficult
names, but can be visualized and related to as attractive
members of the body of Christ. In this workshop, John
Bell looks at how we can be spiritually paralyzed
because of a distortion of images of the people of God
and looks at ways to liberate the people in the pages of
the Bible to be friends to and of our congregations
tOtlay.
JohnLBell
John Bell is a member of the /ona
Community, an ecumenical foundation
based both in Glasgow and the island of
/ona where St. Columba landed in 563
A.D. on a mission ofevangelization from
Ireland. Rev. Bell's ministry centers
around one ofthe primary concerns ofthe
/ona community, the ongoing
development of creative worship. John
will share music with us from the world
church, drawing on the rich heritage ofindigenous spirituality
and song from both Scotland and third world nations,
expanding our imagination with regard to scripture and
understanding of God.
7C TEACHING ABOUT JEWS AND JUDAISM: HOW
DOESTHENEWCATECHISMOFTHECATHOLIC
CHURCH MEASURE UP?
All of us teach about Jews and Judaism, whether we
are aware of it or not, since our understandings of
Christianity are intricately connected to an
understanding of Judaism. In the past 30 years,
theologians have offered a wealth of information that
challenges us to a more faithful portrait of Judaism,
particularly in the first-century world that shaped
Jesws. Vatican II setoffan excitingprocessofrethinking
within the Catholic church. How well does the new
catechism reflect the change and understandings?
How well do we?
Mary C. Boys, S.N.J.M.
7D CATECHISTS LEADING CHILDREN TO JESUS
A fast paced workshop providing practical experience

Eleanor Ann Brownell
7E CHILDREN AS THE PRIMARY EDUCATORS.
In his decree "On Evangelization", Paul VI told us that
not only were parents the first proclaimere of the
gospel to their children, but that they received the
gospel from the lives of their children. Children have
a sense of wonder, of awe, of reverence; we must learn
to reclaim it in our own search for holiness.
Kathleen Chesto, Ph.D.
7F NURTURING YOUTH SPIRITUALITY: WHOSE
VOICE ARE YOUTH LISTENING TO?
Many different people are calling to youth, inviting
them to come in this direction or that. Many of these
paths can be destructive, discouraging and dangerous.
As catechists and ministere with youth, how can we
help youth to hear and respond to the voice of our
loving God? In this workshop, perspectives on youth
spirituality will be shared alongwith practical strategies
and resourees for nurturing spiritual growth in youth.
This will include discussion of youth prayer, retreats,
worship and mi~istry.

learn from us, with us, and what it means to "Live the
Promise".

7J TO LIVE THE PROMISE: REVISITING
REMEMBERING CHURCH
The 1994 Congress examines various aspects of
reconciliation in the Church and the world. To live the
promise ofGod's covenant, we must continually revise
our need for reconciling iove. This session will consider
some critical pastoral questions about reconciling
adults, lest we forget this vital energy for the building
of the Body of Christ.

7K CELEBRATING THE WORD WITH CHILDREN: THE
CELEBRATION OF THE WORD IN CATECHETICS
What is the place of the Liturgy of the Word in the
Religion Curriculum? How do we celebrate the Word
in the classroom? Is the classroo:m teacher a Minister
of the Word? What do children hear when we read or
proclaim the Word? Why did Jesus say, "Unless you
become like a child ... " If you are a catechist, religion
teacher, or parent, come prepared to participate. We
will celebrate the Word together. This workshop will
concentrate on celebrating the Word in a catechetical
setting.
Sr. Paule Freeburg, D.C.
~7L IMAGINATION AND PRAYER FOR CHILDREN
Children's imaginations are immediately accessible. They
love to use imagination. To teach and encourage them to
imagine with God, in prayer, is a delight for all. In this
session we shall concentrate on the use of phantasy in
prayer, and story-telling, too. Enough will be said to show
the anatomy of imagination, how it operates as part of a
human being's nature, to use it to praise and bless, to go
through it into the depth of the mystery who is God.
Marlene Halpin O.P., Ph.D.
7M ANOTHERFACEOFAIDS:PASTORALMINISTRY

stories, memories and healing of those who have lost
someone to AIDS. Through music, readings and
personalsharings we will look at the questions we are
called to ask as pastoral ministers. Come and be part
of a work in progress as together we 'learn to minister
to those left behind. Come also if you have lost
someone, in the process ofletting go or know ofanyone

believe what they say they believe, why do they go about
withsuchlongfaces! There will benolongfacesduringthis
presentation which will focus on the importance ofhumor
in our lives: spiritually, physically, mentally and
emotionally. In chapter 2 verse 4 in the book of Psalms it
is written, "He who sits in the heavens laughs." We need
to model our creator and use one of His precious gifts. No
one admitted to this presentation without a smile!

7P TOWARDS A GLOBAL ETHIC

Daniel Martin, Ph.D.
iQ THE SOULFUL PRACTICE OF RELIGION AND
SPIRITUALITY
RenaiBBance theologians warned of the problem of
splitting the spiritual life from the soulful life. Soul
and spirit are not the same thing, though our tendency
is to emphasize the spiritual in religion. My concern is:
how can we care for the soul in religion and spiritual
practice and what are some of the shadow elements or
dangers in a soulless spirituality: I believe that our
religious practice can be revitalized by giving to values
of soul.
Thomas Moore, Ph.D.
7R BIBLICAL HUMOR
Biblical Humor requires a "good eye." It also keeps us from
distorling"the Promise". Biblical Humoroonstantlycall us
tooonversion byremindingusthat''God'sthoughtsare not
our thoughts nor are our ways God's ways." Biblical
Humor is God's gift to us and our response to God's saving
presence among us.
Fr. Michael E. Moynahan, S.J.
7S WHAT COLOR IS GOD'S SKIN?
How do cultural, racial, and ethnic differences affect the
way that children visualize God and the way we present
the Gospel message? This presentation helps us to
rememberourpasthistoryofcatechesis inArnerica and to
envision the future in the light of our diversity.
Marie Murphy, Ph.D
WORLD
When Paul confronted Barnabas and Peter over the
issue of Jewish Christians eating with Gentiles (Gal
2: 11-14),heestablishedonce and for all that Christianity
was a universal religion--not just a Jewish sect. This
workshop explores the dynamics involved in this
transition and what we might learn from it today as we
become an increasingly multi-cultural Church.
Fr. Ronald Pachence, Ph.D.
7U NLEARNING FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH"
Our personal religious education is not simply to expand
our grasp of matters divine. More essentially, it is for
oonverting our heart, deepening our rootedness in God
and helping us ''live the promise." The challerige for us as
adult believers, then, istounderstandhowtoapproach our
learning in faith so that it can be for us a genuine moment
of spiritual growth.

SC CATHOLIC SEXUAL TEACHING: PLUSES,
MINUSES, AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Catholic teaching often seems centered on negative
rules for birth control, divorce, premarital sex and
homosexuality. But what are the positive parameters
of this teaching? How can we incorporate into it the
equality of women, and the centrality of love and
intimacy? Can we acknowledge the traditional
limitations and still use them effectively to address our
cultures?

8J HELP!! CREATIVE STRATEGIES FOR ALL WHO
ARE CALLED ON TO EXPRESS WHAT WE BELIEVE.
Being asked to express the deepest truths about our
faith is in ways impossible. In ways, however, it is such
simpler than we usually imagine. In this presentation,
Fr. Joe will demonstrate some creative-and profoundly
simple strategies-for remembering again what really
matters, and for communicating that in ways that
touch peoples' hearts. Ifyou ever feel inadequate to the
task, or maybe even burnt out from trying, come
experience some truly simple ways ofexpressing what
is most important to us in ways that can touch the
hearts of all involved. (Including ourselves as

98 SIGNS OF GOD'S PRESENCE: SACRAMENTAL
PREPARATION AND THE FAMILY FAITH
JOURNEY.
This presentation will deal with the familyfaithjourney
and the challenge to those engaged in catechetical
ministry to be "signs of God's presence" to families and
children, particularly in preparing for a "first
experience" of the sacraments. Such topics as parish
and family bonding, sacramental formation as ajourney
of belonging, believing, discerning, and living in faith
will also be explored.

9F ADULT CATECHESIS AND LAY MINISTRY
FORMATION
The formation of adult lay persons is vitally needed for
carrying out the mission and ministries of the Church.
Adultcatechesis provides the necessary foundation for
enabling adults to understand their responsibility for
being ministers and discern the specific areas in which
they wish to be involved and for which they need more
extensive formation.
Jim DeBoy
9H THE RESURRECTION IN THE FILIPINO CONTEXT
The Christian faith is essentially an Easter-faith. But
Filipino Catholicism, by seemingly giving more
importance to Good Friday than Easter Sunday, has
been regarded as "Christianity Aborted." A
reassessment of this claim is called for. More
importantly, the resurrection of Jesus needs to be
looked at from an indigenous perspective if it is to
become truly meaningful to Filipinos. An exploration
of the phenomenon of "hiya" (shame) and
"pagbabangong-dangal" (vindication of honor) presents
such a possibility.
Jose de Mesa, Ph.D.
 9J PARENTS AND CATECHISTS AS PARTNERS
Faith, planted and nurtured in familiee, is enriched

as they impact upon the catecheticalenterpriee. Is it really
necesswy to be aware or even discuss issues of race and
culture when attempting to educate people about God?

realtionship between issues ofjust and racial awareness;
the realtionship between the desire for God and the love of
learning will be addressed in a concrete and empathetic
fashion.

9X THE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY AND ITS
RESPONSE TO CRIME.
The social and cultural makeup of the Catholic
Community often places us within mainstream
American thinking about our relationship to prisoners
and our attitudes toward criminal justice issues such
as the death penalty. Teaching gospel v~ues about
forgiveness of injury and visiting those in prison as the
way to a life of christian maturity can lead to a clash of
values with the American way. Often religious leaders
espouse values in this regard that are diffiuclt to
reconcile with the gospel.

AND ITS IMPACT ON YOUR STUDENTS
While Congress, researchers and the media industry
haggle over who'e to blame for media violence, 15Chools

new video and print resources developed by media

Congreso de 1994.

Mis Queridos Amigos en Cristo:

Me permito dirigirme a ustedes en esta ocasi6n para comunicarles a todos los que estan
participando en el Congreso de Bducaci6n Religiosa de este aiio mis oraciones y mis
mejores deseos para que el Congreso sea todo un exito.

El tema seleccionado para el fin de semana del Congres_o, VIVIR LA PROMESA, trata
acerca del amor acordado por Dios -- un regalo dado libremente a nuestra familia
humana. Esta promesa de Alianza es la base y fuente de nuestra esperanza. Dios es
nuestro Criador, y nosotros estamos llamados a entrar en esta relaci6n especial
escuchando las palabras de Jesus: "Ha llegado el tiempo. IEl Reina de Dios esta cereal
IVuelvanse aDios, y acepten con fe la Buena Nueva!" (San Marcos 1:15)

El VIVIR LA PROMESA nos llama a entablar conversaci6n y dar respuesta ala

protectora asistencia de Dios entre nosotros. Ya que la promesa de amor de Dios es
incondicional y perseverante, podemos vivir con un espfritu de confianza aun en media de
luchas inevitables y ambigiiedades en nuestras vidas cotidianas.

Tengo la certeza de que el Congreso de 1994 sera una maravillosa oportunidad para todos
ustedes que se reunen para ser enriquecidos por los multiples talleres, las celebraciones
Liturgicas, y las reuniones comunitarias. Es en nuestra comunidad y por este media que
desarrollamos y estimulamos las palabras y acciones de Cristo.

Por favor esten seguros de mi apoyo y estfmulo al continuar trasmitiendo la Buena Nueva
de la promesa de amor y perseverancia de Dios, y al animar a la generaci6n de nuestros
j6venes Cat6licos a escuchar y seguir la voz de Cristo.

Pidiendo las bendiciones del Senor sabre ustedes y todos sus esfuerzos en la educaci6n
religiosa y ministerio en la Iglesia, quedo de ustedes

nceramente en Cristo,

Quiedos Amigos,

Bienvenidos a otro Congreso de Educaci6n Religiosa lleno de gracia. Tenemos un

tema maravilloso que sera el enfoque de nuestra reuni6n: "Vivir la Promesa ." La
promesa es la fidelidad de Dios, el deseo de Dios de caminar entre la familia humana
y de seguir renovando los lazos del amor y promesa de la nueva vida. El pacto de
amor de Dios, nos da la seguridad de una presencia que continua por el tiempo y
espacio, y la sentimos en el puro centro de nuestras vidas, en el mundo de hoy. Es
el poder el que nos llama a que sigamos caminando Iento y con valor en el momento
de lucha y ambigiiedad de nuestras vidas.

El Congreso 1994 nuevamente ofrece talleres sobresalientes, oportunidades de

enriquecimiento, reuniones de la comunidad y una variedad de experiencias
liturgicas.

Es con un gran placer que les doy la bienvenida, y espero que el fin de semana sea
para todos un tiempo de celebraci6n y renovaci6n espiritual.

Sinceramente,

UN ARMA DE DOS FILOS.
Como aprender a "entreleer" el Evangelio de Jesus en
lasescenascontemponineas que nosofrece la television.
Ejemplos de programas de television donde el Mensaje
de Jesus se ha revestido de imagenes nuevaesin perder
su autenticidad ... La television tiene el poderde expresar
en forma contemporanea los relatos, las parabolas y el
mensaje del Evangelio. Television aplicada a la
evangelizacion y la catequesis.
3S1 "LOS QUETENGAN OiDOS, QUE OIGAN"(MC
4:9)
Los videos no son el remedio para cuando nose prepara
una clase o una reunion. Los videos son como
herramientas: hay que aprender a saber cuando usar

sugerencias para el buen uso de los videos en la
. catequesis.

alios.
2S1 "TRES CULTURAS: TRADICIONAL, LIBERAL Y
LIBERADORA"
Los papasvienende lacultura tradicional que privilegia
losvaloresdeoomunidad,familia, respetoa laautoridad.
Los hijoe se crian en una cultura liberal que cuestiona
laautoridadyprivilegia la libertad. i,Y elevangelio? El
Evangelio y Ia Iglesia (Santo Domingo) nos invita a
transformar Ia cultura. (,Cual seria aquella cultura
liberadora que el evangelio nos invita a realizar?
452 "LOS POBRES EDUCAN"
Bajo Ia cultura dominante, los no-pobres vivimos una
"distorsi6n original" con peligro de olvidarnos de lo que
mas importa en la vida. Por eso, necesitamos a los
pobres mas que estos nos necesitan. Nos ayudan a
romper esquemas, a dejar que nos aparte el coraz6n-
lo cual es fundamental para una formaci6n realmente
cristiana. De hecho, todos, pobres tambien, viven
seducidos por el "arribismo". i,Y que dice el evangelio
deesto?
8S1 "JUSTICIA V EVANGELIC"
"Pero lajusticia es una cuesti6n material; y Ia fees co sa
espiritual." i,Es cierto esta critics? La platica presents
lo que Jesus dice sobre el Reino de Dios y Ia pobreza:
Dios toma Ia parte del pobre e invita a todos a una
comunidad sin marginados. Hay que romper con el
dualismo material-espiritual para comprender el
mensaje de Jesus.

ace rca de la parroquia, el catecumenado
de adultos y Religiosidad popular.
1S1 LA RELIGIOSIDAD EN EL PUEBLO HISPANO
En el pueblo hispano, el catolicismo se hizo mestizo:
verdades indigenas prehispanicas se mezclaron con el
dogma cat6lico; y algunas verdades cat6licas se
manifestaronen ritos y form as indigenas. Por ejemplo:
laceniza, las imagenes, lacruz, Ia Virgen de Guadalupe,
los muertos, el agua, etc.
70
6S2 COMO EVANGELIZABA JESUCRISTO V
COMO EVANGELIZAMOS
El Evangelio de San Marcos no s6lo nos dice queensefi6
Jesus, sino nos descubre ~ evangelizaba Jesus: las
etapaso pasos que di6 paraevangelizar:las estrategias
que usaba en cada etapa. Seguir esta pnictica
evangelizadora de Jesus dara por reeultado en las
parroquias, emprender una Nueva Evangelizaci6n.
8S2 EL LIDERAZGO EN LA IGLESIA V EN EL
MUNDO
Loe diversoe tipoe de cat6licos que, generalmente,
existen en Ia Iglesia, necesitan respuestasdistintas, es
decir, diversos servicios. Esto es un reto y al filismo
tiempo un peligro: fonnar Hderes para el servicib de la
Iglesia que se olvidan de que, al miemo tiempo, deben
eer lideres en medio del mundo eecular en que viven en
donde deben instaurar el Reinado de Dios.

3S2 NUESTRO DIOS ES COMUNIDAD.
La vida cristiana es esencialmente vida en Ia Trinidad.
Perohemoshechode esta realidad luminosa un misterio
inasequible, en Iugar de que sea la base de nuestras
buenas nuevas y de nuestra alegria. Para muchos
cristianos daria lo mismo que fueran dos perBOnas o
que fueran cuatro o que fuera una sola. (,COmo es
nuestra fe practica? i,Creemos en-- y nos relacionamos
con-- Dios Padre, Dios hijo y Dios Espiritu Santo? (,Que
cambia en nuestra vida?
5S3 UNA IGLESIA A IMAGEN DE LA TRINIDAD.
El que nuestro Dios sea Comunidad tieneconeecuencias
eclesiales muy fuertes. Tenemos que ser una
comunidad en la que se respeten las diferencias
(culturales, raciales, sex~ales) pero al mismo tiempo
sevivaen unidad. Yuna unidad que no sea uniformidad.
La uniformidad eclesial iria en contra del plan de Dios
que quiere una Iglesia a imageny semejanza suya. En
Dios no se confunden las Personas, pero viven en la
comuni6n mas grande que pueda pensarse.
752 LAICOS ADULTOS EN UNA IGLESIA ADULTA.
La conciencia laical de nuestra Iglesia est& todavia en
pafi.ales. No se ha elaborado todavia una teologia del
laicado, y en la practica se les sigue considerando
menores de edad al interior de la Iglesia. Se dice que
todos somos 'sacerdotes, profetas y reyes' pero no
sabemos que signifique eso para los laicos. Y sobre todo
para las laicas, doblemente marginadas parser del
pueblo y por ser mujeres. (,Que es ser laico adulto de un
Iglesia adulta? (C. Bravo)

252 LOS J6VENES VIVEN LA PROMESA EN
PEQUENASCOMUNIDADES
EVANGELIZADORAS
Pre sen tare el modelo de pequeiias comunidades que
esta siendo desarrollado por el equipo de Saint
Mary's Press, enfatizando sus caracteristicas
evangelizadoras y misioneras. Contrastare este
modelo con el de un grupo juvenil y un movimiento
apost6lico. Dare pistas de como pueden empezar a
formarse las pequefi.as comunidades de j6venes en
variadas situaciones. Abrire un foro de preguntas y
respuestas sobre la viabilidad del modelo.
554 LA PROMESA DE JESUS ABARCA LA
TOTALIDAD DE LA VIDA DELJOVEN
Es comun hablar de la formaci6n, el desarrollo y Ia
evangelizaci6n integral del joven. i,C6mo podemos
colaborar para lograr esta meta? Ofrecere un marco de
referenda que ayude a abordar estas tematicas y
mostrare como las pequefi.as comunidades
evangelizadoras promueven estos procesos en los
Jovenes. (C.Cervantes)
FAMILIAl
Uno de los anhelos mas profundos que tenemos los
padres de familia es que nuestra familia entera viva la
promesadel amory la liberaci6n traidos por Cristo, con
la mayor plenitud posible. Enfocaremos Ia catequesis
familiar como la formaci6n de la fe en el hogar, la
configuraci6n de la familia como iglesia domestica y la
necesidad del apoyo interfamiliar como medias para
hacer realidad Ia Promesa en nuestros hogares.

director de la Revista de Teologia
Hispana I Latina. Se haespecializado en
el estudio de la religion popular latina, sabre la que ha
publicado numerosos trabajos.
253 GRACIA Y HUMANIZACI6N
La teologia de la gracia ha hecho incomprensible la
experiencia cristiana de Dios y del amor de Dios. La
vivencia latina de la fey de Dios abre nuevos caminos
y rompe la esterilidad que ellenguaje teologico sobre la
gracia habia impuesto a la reflexion sobre la vida de
Dios entre nosotros. Este taller intentara partir de Ia
experiencia latina de Dios en EE.UU., y re-crear un
lenguaje teologico nuestro para Ia experiencia.
654 RELIGION DEL PUEBLO Y "SENSUS FIDELIUM"
El catolicismo enseiia que Ia fe del pueblo de Dios, y su
sentido compartido de esa fe, es criterio necesario para
Ia comprension de Ia revelacion. El "sentido de los
fieles" tiene su origen en el Espiritu de Dios y es
imprescindibleen todaenseiianza verdaderae infalible.
Esta conferencia busca recordar la importancia crucial
del"sensus fidelium" ("sentido de los fieles") y como, en
el contexto Iatino en EE. UU ., ese "sentido" se descubre
privilegiadamente en Ia religiosidad popular.

Conseguir met as de educacion como ordeny disciplina
en la familia o durante Ia catequesis en el salon de clase
ee un reto para padres y catequistas, que quieren

3S3 LA IMPORTANCIA ACTUAL DE LOS RELATOS
DEL PARAIS 0 TERRESTRE
Las tres primeras paginas del Genesis son quiza las
mas conocidas de la literatura mundial. Y tambien
influyen mucho en nuestra manera de afrontar Ia vida
y Ia fe. En medio del conflicto y de Ia confusion de
interpretaciones, es posible todavia encontrar algunos
caminos para que la lectura de esos pasajes pueda
seguir ayudando a transformar la vida y la historia de
los hombres y mujeres de hoy.
754 LA EUCHARISTIA Y LAS COMIDAS DE JESUS
CON LOS POBRES
Para que la catequesis y la iniciaci6n a Ia practica
eucaristica se vivan al modo cristiano, es oportuno
examinar la relaci6n entre las comidas que Jesus
compartia con los pobres y Ia Eucaristia. Asf se podra
descubrir el tipo de com union eucarfstica que ofrece y
exige el reino de Dios que Jesus anunci6.

354 UNA METODOLGIA CATEQUISTICA PARA
FORMAR CRISTIANOS DE PERSONALIDAD
FUERTE (10 A 12 ANOS)
La Preadolescencia, puente para Ia edad dificil de Ia
Adolescencia, es un momento importante, por sus
caracteristicas psicol6gicas, que muchas veces no se
aprovecha suficientemente para formar cristianos
reflexivos y comprometidos con su Comunidad y con el
Mundo. Una Metodologia en donde Cristo se vuelve el
Maestro,jefe, amigo y modelo, a traves de seguir paso
a paso al Catequista San Marcos, planteara nuevos
derroteros a nuestra Catequesis. (D. Sollano)
8S4 UNA METODOLGIA PARA PREPARAR MEJOR

Muchasveces nue.strasCateque.sisfaltandecreatividad
y se convierten en un mero repetir metodos muy
buenos pero que a veces no se adaptan a las
circunstancias que viven nuestros catequizandos: a
partir de un metodo muy visual y sencillo, ofrecemos a
los Catequistasde todas lasedades (incluyendo adultos)
un camino fiicil de retomar el metodo que estan
utilizando, reconstruirlo, re-evalorarlo y ponerlo a Ia
altura de sus catequizandos para que se vuelva vital e
impulse a una transformaci6n cristiana.
