A Guide for Godparents by Peter C. Garrison Pdf

A Guide For Godparents is an aid for pastors who deal with ministering to a parade in our constantly moving parish populations. Often godparents arrive from out of town or state. The parents themselves move more often today than ever before in our society. With this book you will cover the theological basics of baptism and the spiritual life in a way that is simple and friendly without being simplistic or condescending. The spiritual basis of the book is suited to the busy couples that the church sees coming for their spiritual nurture and the baptism of their children. The content of this book will not scare off these couples -- parents and godparents -- returning to their church. Peter C. Garrison is pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Burlingame, California. His previously published CSS books are Pastoral Pitfalls and Witnesses To The Cross.

Someone to Watch Over Me by Peter Hinton,Iona Joy Pdf

In many countries there are more godparents in existence than parents. Year after year hundreds of thousands of responsible adults get asked to become godparents and accept without quite knowing what exactly is expected of them and how they might best try and fulfil the role. Is it therefore any surprise that most godparents don't feel they do the job very well and the collective noun appears to be a "guilt" of godparents?Someone to Watch Over Me sets out to explain where the tradition of godparents comes from, what is involved in being a godparent today, how parents should choose godparents for their children and provides ideas and resources for how godparents can perform the role better. Desmond Tutu in the foreword says, "Godparents form part of the community looking to guard the child and help him or her realise their full potential."The book clearly demonstrates that godparents can be from religious, agnostic or atheist backgrounds and that the real key lies in a commitment to nurture the development of the child.The decline of extended families, increased social mobility, breakdown of social networks, frequent break-up of marriages etc. leads to a greater need for godparents in the life of a child than ever before. Underlying this book is the strong belief held by the authors that godparenting is an enriching aspect of life today and that all children would benefit from having active and interested godparents.

Guide to Adapting the RCIA for Children by Rita Burns Senseman Pdf

This resource aims to recognize and acknowledge that children of varying ages and states of faith formation undergo a variety of paths to Christian initiation. However, using the rite itself as a backbone, this new book will help RCIA coordinators, catechists, and DREs with suggestions on how to adapt the rite for children. The book will document the author's expertise and experience in ushering children through the process and offers readers practical suggestions to help children and families, and at the same time, helps to underscore that the Rite should be their foundation for how they will do this.
