This fascinating new book presents a series of essays by individuals who have been involved in Christian initiation over the past 20 years.  Insights are offered from various perspectives (rural, urban, African-American, Hispanic, historical, musical, catechetical, etc.).

Topic:

RCIA; Christian Initiation

"Jerry Galipeau has compiled a good text and structured it to be a resource and a reflective tool for seasoned directors, RCIA teams, and parishes.  It should be required reading for every pastor, RCIA team, and liturgy and music director where the RCIA process exists."
