This thesis-project is a qualitative study of five directors of national youth ministry training organizations. Through the lens of appreciative inquiry and employing critical reflection, it discerns best practices in training youth ministry leaders in the Roman Catholic Church in the United States and the underlying assumptions and values of such practices. Using relevant Church documents and transformative learning theory in dialogue with these practices and assumptions the author proposes the promotion of a ministerial habitus. In concludes with five recommendations for improving the field of youth ministry training, including a national document as a framework for guiding training and formation.
