Helping young adults form
their conscience based on the Gospel and on the Church's moral and
social teachings.
Conscience formation is
one of the most important aspects in ministry today. John Paul II
spoke of the role of the laity as the evangelizers of society through the home and work.
Faith communities have a responsibility to prepare and support the
laity in this task. Young adults can develop a Christian conscience by:
- Offering adult religious education
programs that connect contemporary life issues to the teachings and
traditions of the Church.
- Provide seminars and discussion groups
to examine the relationship of faith to work, including ethics in the
workplace.
- Make use of homilies and sacramental
celebrations, where appropriate, to incorporate a discussion of the role of
the laity as evangelizers of society.
- Support and facilitate scripture study
groups and small groups for married couples.
- Support the formation of ongoing,
intergenerational small faith communities
