 Recent Offerings | Youth Mentoring Program Theological Literacy Covenant's adult and youth education is based on a vision of theological literacy for the participants. The program's intention is to draw on scripture, tradition, reason, and experience to articulate the ways the Divine is operative in human experience. It seeks to develop a common base of knowledge and to be responsive to the community's needs and interests. Theological literacy is not defined exclusively as knowledge of the work of systematic theologians, although it includes that work. While it encompasses the integration of theory and practice, and the binding together of the academic and the practical, theological literacy is best described as a way of paying attention -- to God and everything else. The program structure reflects two statements by Jerome Bruner, educational theorist. One is that people can be trusted to learn what they need to, at the time they need it, in the manner best suited to their learning styles. The other is that discovery favors a well-prepared mind. We offer choice and variety. Our goal is to provide the opportunity for acquiring a common base of knowledge through a variety of styles. |
