Introduction to the Seven Elements of Lifelong Faith Formation

Read Chapter One in Lifelong Faith: Formation for All Ages and Generations

Article: Becoming System Thinkers

How can a lifelong and life-wide approach to faith formation provide a systemic response to addressing the challenges of religious change and post-pandemic life?
 
Systems thinking is a way of helping us view a church’s faith forming systems from a broad perspective that includes seeing the whole life span and the context of people’s lives today, rather than seeing only specific issues or concerns (e.g., we’ve got to solve the youth problem). By focusing on the entire system of faith formation, we can attempt to identify solutions that address as many problems as possible in the system. The positive effect of those solutions leverages improvement throughout the system. Thus, they are called “leverage points” in the system. This priority on the entire system and its leverage points is called whole systems thinking.
