CAFFEINE Part 11 (What’s going on here?)

At last November’s National Symposium on Adolescent Catechesis, Sean Reynolds wondered here if “Could it be… that the greatest obstacle to the next wonderful thing God has in store is in fact that last wonderful thing God has given?  That our assumptions and expectations have been so powerfully shaped what we’ve seen and lived that we have selective vision and hearing?   … Could it be that our collective wisdom about adolescent catechesis has grown toxic to the best of what may be next in store for those with eyes to see and ears to hear?”

If Catholic Adolescent Faith Formation and Evangelization In a New Era is going to truly stimulate both young minds and the church, can we still be brewing with the same old grounds and then complain about a sense of staleness (or hysteresis or malaise?)
