This handbook is part of an ongoing process to share models of Total Catholic Education boards, religious education boards, and Catholic school boards. The purpose of the book is two-fold: (1) to provide a rationale for having a group within the parish that sets the direction for the religious education of children, youth, and adults; and (2) to provide models for the formation and operation of this leadership body. Chapters cover a broad range of topics: group-formation models; roles, relationships, and responsibilities; training; spirituality; adaptations to various cultures; and the rationale for having a religious education board/commission. Following the preface and introduction, the articles include: (1) "The Call To Be a Watercarrier: The Religious Education Board" (Matthew J. Hayes); (2) "A People, a Mission, a Structure!" (John S. Balaguer and Maria Thornton McClain); (3) "The Spirituality of Decision Making" (Mary Benet McKinney, OSB); (4) "Forming a Religious Education Commission--A Team Effort" (Elaine Ouellette); (5) "The Why and How of Forming a Religious Education Board" (Eileen Loughran); (6) "Parish Religious Education Committees--Why Bother with Them?" (James J. DeBoy, Jr.); (7) "What Do Parish Religious Education Boards Do?" (Maureen Kennedy, OP); (8) "A Rainbow of Adaptations" (Maria Thornton McClain); (9) "Professional Growth Day for Parish Catechetical Leaders, re: Religious Education Boards" (Joanne Spizzo Sanders and James P. Studdert); and (10) "An Effective Way for a Pastor and DRE to Support the Board of Education" (Mary Jo Thomas-Day). Appendices contain a sample constitution for a Religious Education Board, a Total Catholic Education Board/Commission, and a Parish Board of Education; a model yearly calendar for meetings; a report form; a list of additional resources; and a sample vision of a parish religious education program.
