| Description: |
The relationship between fathers and sons is among the most wounded in society today. Helping to heal it is one of the most urgent tasks facing families, church, and society. Between Fathers and Sons is a six-week program that provides opportunities for open communication between fathers and their adolescent sons and offers assistance to fathers in fostering their sons’ growth into mature manhood.
Foundational Principles of the Program
• A father’s active presence is crucial for his son’s development, especially in adolescence.
• There is a great need today for fathers to initiate their adolescent sons into spiritually mature and responsible manhood.
• Teenage boys can benefit by hearing the stories of other adult men from the faith community.
• The psychological task for an adolescent is to achieve a coherent sense of personal identity; the task for adults is to care, nurture and guide the next generation.
Program Models and Themes
The Between Fathers and Sons program can operate in many models: as a six-week program, a weekend retreat, or a three-day workshop. Among the processes that take place in the six sessions are gospel reading and prayer, personal response, one-to-one dialogue, small-group sharing, large-group presentations, and community building activities. |
