New column: Ordered to Teach

By Robyn Broyles, October 17, 2009 16:58



Among my various hats is that of lay catechist.  I am one of several who teach the 11th-grade Confirmation candidates in my parish.  I feel called to the ministry of teaching about the faith so strongly that I have considered starting a separate blog called "Ordered to Teach."  I think that instead, it would make an excellent column here at Leave the Lights On.

There are two meanings to the title of this column. In the first place, it reflects God's command to me that I teach about him.  In the second place, it reflects the fact that God has put this drive and ability into my nature; that is, my purpose is ordered toward teaching.

I have little formal catechetical training.  I am not immune to error in any way.  In what I present here, as in everything I write about faith, I strive to be true to the orthodox Catholic faith.  Any error is inadvertent and is purely my own.

Would you like to write a column on this site?  Contact the site administrator using the link below.  Columns about science, Catholicism, Catholic culture, media commentary, and reviews are a few examples of available topics.  Articles can be occasional, monthly, weekly, or more frequent.
