Teaching Parents: How to Make RE a Family Practice

By Patricia Infante

The shift towards Family Ministry has many religious educators reclaiming the language of “parents as the primary religious educators.” What does that mean for today’s parents, many of whom did not grow up with Unitarian Universalism and have limited experience to use as guideposts? We’ll explore the role of parents in religious education and talk about practices and tools that parents can use to reinforce meaningful participation in a faith community.

Presented by Patricia Infante, CER Program Manager for Lifespan Faith Development.
