Faith is like Dancing - Moved by faith to grow as a Christian. Training Guide for Developing Religious Competencies

"Faith Is Like Dancing - and you determine the way and the rhythm!" Faith does not mean blindly following rules, but rather engaging with your heart, hands and mind: with yourself, with other people and with the world. This training guide for developing religious competencies for Christians as well as teachers and learners in religious education and in child and youth welfare invites reflection: It encourages and accompanies on the way to decisive personal and social skills that everyone needs to be able to live faith and charity authentically. Twelve concrete learning areas show: The ability to engage in dialog, empathy, critical thinking and reflection, gender sensitivity, self-acceptance, ethical action and others can and must be learned - in religious education classes, in self-study, in theology internships, in the community and in everyday life. A book for all those who not only want to learn their faith, but want to live it: flexibly, courageously and with joy in love for others. Because those who truly live their faith do not just dance according to foreign, dogmatic rules, but also move in tune and self-confidently in harmony with the rhythm of their own life: faith is like the joy of dancing! - and this "coordination work" can be learned.
