Adult Faith Education In recent times it has become generally accepted that, in order to prepare oneself for life and work in today’s complex, ever-changing society, it is no longer sufficient to rely on the years of compulsory schooling. This applies in the area of religion or faith or spirituality as it does for work or recreation. The General Directory for Catechesis emphasises that ‘Catechesis for adults, since it deals with persons who are capable of an adherence that is fully responsible, must be considered the chief form of catechesis.’ Today there are opportunities available through universities and dioceses for courses in religious education at diploma and degree level. NCRS also offers courses, which are designed to increase understanding and so contribute to that growth toward maturity of faith which is the goal of catechesis. Walk by Faith Walk By Faith is a three-year distance learning course that aims to help people deepen their understanding of and faith in God. The course is designed to help you to: Know and understand your self and your ‘story’ Reflect on your experience of yourself in relationship to others and to God. Know where you are on the journey of faith more.
