Abstract

Grounded in the principles of interculturation, this paper asserts that the ministry of catechesis (like evangelization) is not a one-directional encounter, but two-directional. The Church passes on the Christian faith to its young, but it also receives new and valuable perspectives into its faith from the young. This paper seeks to explore systematically children's insights into the Christian message, drawing on the body of research and reflection accumulated by the international Catechesis of the Good Shepherd movement over the course of the past fifty years. It then asks how children's theology--named 'mustard seed theology'--can be of particular use to preachers. It reports the results of two sets of interactions with preachers around the question. The final chapter of the thesis comprises of a manuscript intended to help preachers become more familiar with mustard seed theology and its implications for their ministry.
