CWN Editor's Note: The US bishops’ Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis has published a Companion to the Handbook on the Catechetical Accompaniment Process: A Diocesan Guide for an Evangelizing Catechesis.
The introduction to the 85-page guide explains:
Evangelizing catechesis, at its heart, is a ministry of accompaniment— walking with others toward a deeper encounter with Jesus Christ. This is a much richer process than solely intellectual formation, and includes liturgical, spiritual, and moral formation.The above note supplements, highlights, or corrects details in the original source (link above). About CWN news coverage.
Catechesis, which unfolds the beauty and treasures of Church teaching, presupposes evangelization. Evangelization aims to put people in touch with Jesus Christ; catechesis builds upon this relationship and “formalizes” it.
