The symbolic way refers to a basic process relevant to religious education, retreats, and production in the era of media. This course will give both the theory and the practice of the symbolic way. The future of the Church depends on the ability of our current pastoral leaders to encourage, develop, and form leadership among our young people. This course will address forming leaders in general, and pay special attention to the issues of young people today. Students will develop an action plan to bring back to their school or parish.
Themes covered are vocation, commitment, character, virtues, and values.
