MD 201

If Christian faith flowers only in the presence of the kerygma, what does that mean for our pastoral practice? How is our generation to believe without someone who proclaims the kerygma?

–Forming Intentional Disciples, pg. 203

The nickname for MD 201 is "Kerygma Boot Camp". 201 focuses on how to effectively communicate the Great Story of Jesus (i.e., kerygma). Leaders will have the opportunity to hear the kerygma for themselves, in this time and place. They will also explore the importance of integrating the regular proclamation of the kerygma into the life of the parish/diocese so that everyone has the opportunity to respond to Jesus' invitation to follow him in the midst of his Church.

We will also cover how to share it with others

• one on one
• in a small group
• in a retreat setting with children, teens, and adults!

how to apply these skills to:

• RCIA
• Parish evangelization processes

and then teach these skills to those you serve in your pastoral setting!

Those who complete 101, 201 and the follow-up assignments can be considered for certification as Ananias Leaders: qualified to raise up Ananiases in their pastoral setting.

Please note: this is an intensive training designed for those who are involved in the work of evangelization and disciple-making in their parish, diocese or apostolate. The content presumes you have a working knowledge of the information found in Forming Intentional Disciples and some field experience.
