Principles of adult learning

Autonomous and self- directed

Adults use a hands-on problem-solving approach to learningLife experiences and knowledge Adults have a lifetime of experience

Goal- oriented

Adults need learning to connect with their goals for their faith, their career, their family and personal life.

Relevancy- oriented Adults need to know why they are learning; how the learning will affect them?Practical Adults want to apply new knowledge and skills immediatelyRespect Adults need to be shown respect13

Language is the House of Being

“Language is the house of Being.” -Martin Heidegger (Letters on Humanism)

What does this mean? It means that language is more than a tool, ready-at-hand for our use. It means that we live in our language; we live the lives determined by it and we think insofar as we bring Being to language. According to an 

explanatory essay

Slide21

Implications for choosing an organizational model for AFF

Choice of an organizational model/structure is key

Examine existing structures, resources and commitment to AFF before choosing a model/structure

AFF should not be seen as a series of isolated programs but as ongoing ministry of helping adults grow in faith through learning

Model that is chosen must fit within the context of parish life in order to facilitate communication and accountability

Vision of Pastoral Ministry: Communion

At the heart of the vision for pastoral ministry is that our God is fundamentally relational: A loving communion

of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. ‘At the heart of the divine act of creation is the divine desire to make room for created persons in the communion of the uncreated Persons of the Blessed Trinity through adoptive participation in Christ. (from Co-Workers in the Vineyard)
