Adult Christian Education Strategies Session 3
This workshop will explore the theory of Christian Education programs specifically for adults. What assumptions are appropriate in planning and carrying out programs for Adult learners? Some of this has to do with the way adults learn -- especially the way adults learn about matters of faith. We will also talk about how to promote what the church offers its adults, where to get ideas, and how to enlist others to become leaders/ presenters. There will be plenty of opportunity to network and to share successes and failures.
The Rev. Don Caron, Rector at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, Milledgeville, and Ms. Melanie Caron, member of the Diocese of Atlanta’s Commission on Education and Director of Christian Education at St. Stephen’s
Baptismal Theology Session 2
We will explore our radical understanding of baptism and its implications for the Christian faith, our personal lives and the church.
The Rev. Dr. John H. Westerhoff III, author, and priest associate and resident theologian at St. Anne’s Episcopal Church, Atlanta
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (the same workshop will be offered Sessions 1 & 2)
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd has been introduced to adults in a variety of ways in order to convey what distinguishes its approach in forming children. This time, instead of being “lecture oriented”, we will prepare the space so that the adult can experience the atrium as a child would. Adults will be able to move around looking at materials and even receiving presentations, seated on the floor or on small chairs. We will have time to have an interactive experience and then time to process what we are doing in CGS and why this approach benefits young children’s spirituality.
Ms. Karen Maxwell, Director of Formation, National Association of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and co-chair of the Diocese of Atlanta Commission on Education

Exploring Baptismal Vocation Session 1
Living the baptized life is a total-life vocation. Surviving the baptized life can be a challenge. Come explore the joys, obstacles, and triumphs of living a full, rich, and soaking wet baptized life!
The Right Reverend J. Neil Alexander, ThD, DD, Bishop of Atlanta
Fear Not: A Pilgrimage from Anxiety to Hope. Session 1
A look at two stories by Caroline Westerhoff, written for a future publication of the same title, which reflect on “fear, anxiety and hope”, a theme which is certainly relevant for the uncertain times in which we live. Each short story will be followed by questions, reflections, and closing prayers. Interactive conversation around the topic and each story will provide a model for discussion of difficult subjects.
Ms. Caroline Westerhoff, author, speaker, former Canon for Congregational Ministry in the Diocese of Atlanta and parishioner at St. Anne’s Episcopal Church in Atlanta
