All of us educate, teach, and form others; as Christians, the place in
which this formation takes place is our community. Every waking moment
offers opportunities for education, and the home especially is a place
for ongoing Christian formation. At home, we equip the family to know
that God is a mystery and a God of life and love, and our families can
be much-needed examples of how best to struggle with what it means to
know God in everyday life experiences of love, suffering, and death.
_In Informed by Faith_, Mark Francisco Bozzuti-Jones creates a
dialogue between religious educators and parents that is designed to
lead to meditation, prayer, reflection, and a new perspective on the
ministry of teaching. Through examination of the history of education,
education as life, and the meaning of being a Christian, Bozzuti-Jones
offers those who teach a sense of refreshment in soul, mind, and body,
leading to a new commitment to teaching and proclaiming God's life and
love.
“One of the primary purposes of religious formation in the home is
to equip the members of a family to know God, specifically to know
that God is a God of life, God is love, and God is a mystery. More
than ever our society needs the examples of families that struggle
with what it means to know God in their daily lives, loves, and
encounters with pain, suffering and death.”
