Faith development occurs through specific issues in concrete life settings. These issues provide still a third way to approach faith development.

In discussing these issues, we move from a whole-child perspective to a relational basis for teaching and learning, to the two main arenas for education in the congregation, and to the particular setting of congregational worship.
