Join us as we explore Thomas Groome's seminal work, Sharing Faith: The Way of Shared Praxis. This episode delves into Groome's comprehensive pedagogical framework for Christian religious education, highlighting its foundation in "shared Christian praxis." We'll unpack his concept of "conation" – a holistic learning outcome engaging "heads, hearts, and life-styles" – and examine the three constitutive dimensions of lived Christian faith: cognitive, affective, and behavioral. Discover how Groome re-visions epistemology to support a "conative" pedagogy, integrating insights from various philosophical traditions. We'll also provide an overview of the five movements of shared Christian praxis, from naming present action to making decisions for lived faith, showcasing how this approach fosters critical reflection, communal discernment, and transformative engagement with Christian Story and Vision.
