Catechesis

From the 16th century until the early 20th century, catechesis (the art of reciting simple questions and answers to reinforce basic truths) played an important part in the efforts of Christian educators to communicate fundamental articles of the Christian faith to their students. Catechesis has largely become obsolete in our day, but Arma Dei’s Logic School Teachers are reviving the art with a twist: they are having students sing rather than recite the catechism! In Chapel, our Logic School students performed several questions and answers from the catechism and shared some of their thoughts about how the catechism impacts their studies, their relationships, and their lives both in and out of school.
