refounding ministries in chaotic times Arbuckle, Gerald A. creator text bibliography Electronic books. mnu 2013 monographic eng 1 online resource (xxi, 250 pages) How can Catholic leaders effectively train and form members of their institutions in the Gospel values that are the ultimate foundation of Catholic identities? Internationally recognized author, educator, and facilitator Gerald A. Arbuckle argues that it is time to acknowledge that the programs and processes used in the past are inadequate to this postmodern age. The systems previously used to educate the staffs of hospitals, universities, schools, and other institutions rarely succeed today. Although didactic teaching and discursive learning have their place, they cannot be the primary method for forming identities. Catholic Identity or Identities? will assist a wide range of people (bishops, theologians, pastoral workers, institutional leaders and staffs, and more) in their various ministries. Arbuckle draws on several disciplines, including Scripture, theology, and history, but in particular cultural anthropology, to explain the importance of re-founding adult formation for Catholic ministries and the practical ways to achieve it.
