From the most recent document issued by the U. S. Bishops, OUR HEARTS WERE BURNING WITHIN US, the following statements are important to remember as we build future church:
"We are convinced that the energy and resources we devote to adult faith formation will strengthen and invigorate all the charisms that adults receive and the activities they undertake, in the Church and in society, to serve the Gospel of Christ and the people of today. (#39) For such reasons as these, the Church wisely and repeatedly insists that adult faith formation is essential to who we are and what we do as Church and must be situated not at the periphery of the Church’s educational mission but at its center.
