Christ Lutheran Church in Normal, Illinois is no exception. While\r\nresources are being provided to families with young children starting at age three, it has\r\nonly recently been that the youth have been given a Book of Concord by the Board of\r\nElders after the Rite of Confirmation takes place. This is an opportunity for ongoing\r\ncatechesis post-confirmation and to continue to build on the current success of providing\r\nresources from a young age into adulthood. As St. Luke desires to catechize Theophilus\r\nfurther (Luke 1:4) in what he has already learned, the church desires to cultivate a life of\r\nongoing catechesis. But what happens after confirmation? This is the question at the\r\nforefront of this research.\r\nThe catechesis of the church finds its basis in the Divine Service, in preaching,\r\nand in the administration of the Sacraments. The ebb and flow from altar to home and\r\nfrom home to altar gives rhythm to the Christian’s life, marking the times and seasons of\r\nlife and sanctifying that time in the hearing and meditation on God’s holy Word at the\r\naltar and home.\r\nThe focus of this project has been on post-confirmation youth. During the Sunday\r\nSchool hour high school students studied the Lutheran Confessions, with special attention\r\non the Large Catechism, and built on the knowledge of the faith that they have gained in\r\nSunday School and confirmation classes on the Small Catechism. Luther’s catechetical\r\nhymns and the liturgies of the Church were also utilized to bring a deeper and fuller\r\nunderstanding of the section being studied.\r\nStudents were given a written questionnaire at the program’s beginning to\r\nmeasure their current views, opinions, and level of knowledge of Scripture and Christian\r\ndoctrine. Following the conclusion of the teaching phase—from August to December—\r\nthese same students were given another written questionnaire to measure the\r\ndevelopment made in deepening their knowledge and understanding of Scripture and the\r\nConfessions. Parents of confirmed youth were part of a focus group after the teaching\r\nphase. This focus group was asked a series of questions to foster discussion about what\r\nchange, if any, has taken place since the beginning of the project teaching phase.\r\nThe desired outcome of ongoing catechesis post-confirmation is: A) greater\r\npastoral care, B) a fuller understanding and appreciation for the liturgies and rites of the\r\nChurch, C) a deeper understanding of Christian doctrine, most notably the six chief parts\r\nof the Small Catechism with special focus on the Sacrament of the Altar, and D)\r\nrecognition of ongoing catechesis in the daily life of the Christian at every stage of life.\r\nCatechesis is always ongoing and doesn’t end when the Rite of Confirmation is\r\ncompleted. Pastors, parents, and the whole church face this challenge and conundrum of\r\nwhat the church does with youth post-confirmation. It isn’t mysterious as the church has\r\ngrappled with this question before and much can be learned from those who have gone\r\nbefore us in the faith."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["admin_set/default-default-approving","admin_set/default-default-depositing","admin_set/default-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Default Admin Set"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["bradley.hess@ctsfw.edu"],"_version_":1810745990025576448,"timestamp":"2024-09-20T19:52:24.223Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2024-09-20T19:29:11Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-09-20T19:29:13Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"e17d27b0-b9fb-44ed-ba31-0d962f8e8049","accessControl_ssim":["b717ccc0-d3c1-4f1e-bc2d-84ae11e8c8b0"],"depositor_ssim":["bradley.hess@ctsfw.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["bradley.hess@ctsfw.edu"],"title_tesim":["Connecting the modern church to the historical church : using history as a catechetical tool"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2024-09-20T19:29:10Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-09-20T19:29:11Z","isPartOf_ssim":["admin_set/default"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["ba6852fe-3287-4d9d-b4fa-45c0e6017c6b"],"hasLease_ssim":["cc3864ae-b0cb-4d93-a71a-07c2aaa358f5"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Bushur, James"],"committee_member_tesim":["Schurb, Ken","Weinrich, William"],"year_tesim":["2023"],"resource_type_tesim":["D.Min.

Classical terms like virtue and vice, and with them excellence, integrity, character, courage, justice, wisdom, and self-control are often said but are heard as unrelated vocabulary words and so easily manipulated. What is needed is for youth to have a foundation of virtue as a whole in a biblical perspective so that they can begin to wisely build upon this concept intellectually, practically, and spiritually throughout their lives. \r\nReviewing virtue works past and present, this study explores the exegetical, historical, systematic, and practical resources for teaching virtue in order to create a tool for instilling virtue to the Church’s youth and all who will learn, especially for the Confirmation class at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Shawnee, Oklahoma. The effectiveness of this resource over seven weeks of Confirmation classes was then evaluated by reactions from the kids, catechists, and parents, along with triangulation measures from area churches not using this resource. May this endeavor be blessed to know Peter’s intended outcome: “For if these are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ… Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these, you will never fail” (2 Pt 1:8, 10)."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["f49f809a-65b5-4566-bfbb-5756e01b6bc7"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com","roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"_version_":1791135343738617856,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:49:34.531Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-12-12T21:12:11Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:51:42Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"f99185c0-002e-4350-a7a8-d3810e955275","accessControl_ssim":["7f2571ea-b106-41b6-8522-a8981c651c41"],"depositor_ssim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"title_tesim":["Post-confirmation Youth Retention through Educational Continuity"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-12-12T21:12:09Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T05:15:23Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["4cbbc05b-792a-48aa-aee2-d12b0f8d340d"],"hasLease_ssim":["34045312-319d-4ba8-b697-f3c0fcb88326"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["John Pless"],"committee_member_tesim":["James Bushur","Carl Fickenscher II"],"year_tesim":["2021"],"resource_type_tesim":["D.Min.

Fifty-six percent knew that Peter was the disciple who denied Jesus. And less than fifty percent believed that the bible is the infallible, inherent Word of God. America is increasingly biblically illiterate. We do not know the basics of the Christian story and content. If we do not know the story and content of the faith, then we will not understand what the Church is, why she gathers, and what happens in her midst during the Divine Service on Sunday morning. And if we do not understand the central purpose for and message of our weekly gathering, then Christ’s church, and Christianity for that matter, can become little more than a social or communal gathering. This trend can certainly be observed in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod parishes I serve, and is exacerbated by their small-town context.\r\nOne chief contributing factor to an increase in biblical illiteracy in our churches, beyond an individual’s lack of attentiveness, study, and regular hearing of the Word of God, is the current pragmatic, progressive educational philosophy and pedagogical methodology employed in catechesis and catechetical material, which assumes a general knowledge of the Christian story and content, and thus focuses on the intellectual knowledge and propositional truths of the Christian faith that can be apprehended by reason and assented to intellectually. Catechesis of this nature in increasingly biblically illiterate congregations and society further leads to a disconnected, compartmentalized understanding of the Christian faith and the Divine Service, and their impact on the Christian’s life, thus further solidifying and exacerbating a social understanding of the Christian faith.\r\nIn my dissertation, I propose a more comprehensive and cohesive approach to Christian formation which takes the genius of Luther’s Small Catechism, or the Law/Gospel salvific narrative, and joins it to the framework of the Catechumenate, thereby situating the Law/Gospel salvific narrative into a broader, unified, overarching, grand-sweeping biblical narrative of God’s salvific work in Christ, as proclaimed in Scripture and the Liturgy. Its purpose and design is first, to cultivate a love of the One True God and a desire to dwell with him, here in time: weekly in the Divine Service, and daily through confession and absolution, witness, service, and acts of mercy in the assumption of our respective vocations; and there again in eternity: when Christ appears in glory and we dwell with him forever. Second, to situate the participant’s life into the grand-sweeping biblical narrative. Third, to foster a love for the Lutheran Liturgy and hymnody, and thus orient the participant’s life, both individually and communally, around the presence of Christ through Word and Sacrament in the Divine Service. Fourth, to improve the process of Christian formation for all new, existing, and prospective members. Fifth, to develop a biblical confession and piety that is grounded in the life of Christ. And finally, to improve the integration and participation of members, both existing and new, in the life of their congregation. Or perhaps more succinctly stated, this catechetical methodology helps to prepare individual Christians and their congregations to live their life in Christ."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["f49f809a-65b5-4566-bfbb-5756e01b6bc7"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu","ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791135186105139200,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:47:04.200Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T18:02:38Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:50:44Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"c89e679d-1673-4124-9167-252ba0689dff","accessControl_ssim":["9cf62062-c9eb-4592-a751-85c53afe493a"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Post-divine service catechesis in Luther's Catechisms: reforming congregational identity"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T18:02:38Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T03:53:42Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["c1402ac4-e522-4d2b-ba57-eb04de7e624b"],"hasLease_ssim":["0b1d4f58-d3a0-4b23-b939-85424235b9b4"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Gifford A Grobien"],"year_tesim":["2018"],"location_tesim":["Illinois"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Craig A Meissner"],"publisher_tesim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["Church history","Lutherans","Catechetics--Lutheran Church"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["A Northern Illinois parish with a strong catechetical tradition in former years had recently seen significant membership losses. Other great changes were pending as it was losing one of its main buildings. With the congregation subsequently facing an identity crisis, the researcher proposed and conducted five to ten-minute catechetical sessions based on Luther's Catechisms for the whole congregation immediately following the Sunday Divine Service. Data was collected assessing beliefs, desires, practices, and activities indicative of member and congregational self-identity. The experiment proved to significantly strengthen members' identity as Christians, increasing in faith, hope, love, and knowledge of Christian doctrine while conducted, as well as a mild increase in participation in parish life."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["f49f809a-65b5-4566-bfbb-5756e01b6bc7"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791135421106749440,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:50:48.315Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T17:37:33Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:47:26Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"23389383-65c1-4779-bc61-c9f30b3f2082","accessControl_ssim":["ad0aedca-266d-41d5-99b1-3d3cec87b7a1"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Improving New Member Catechesis and Integration at Grace Lutheran Church, Tulsa, Oklahoma, by means of a Lutheran Catechumenate"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T17:37:32Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-16T23:10:29Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["fd6f10b4-fbe7-4a97-8906-ecd5bc5da49d"],"hasLease_ssim":["76e90832-1fe6-4206-91aa-46ee0f202067"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Klaus Detlev Schulz"],"year_tesim":["2017"],"location_tesim":["Oklahoma--Tulsa"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Christian C Tiews"],"publisher_tesim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["Identity (Psychology)","Lutherans","Catechetics--Lutheran Church","Pastoral theology"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["Borrowing a concept from the Early Church and the Roman Catholic RCIA, the author-a Lutheran pastor-implemented a nine month long new member class in his church.
