Content

Andragogy is the branch of pastoral / practical theology devoted to the formation of adults in the field of the Christian faith. Deeply marked by the affirmations of the Second Vatican Council on the common priesthood and the universal vocation to holiness, it has taken an important place in the life of the churches. The secularization and recomposition of the religious in Western societies oblige us today to rethink the issues and the modalities of the accompaniment and the Christian formation of the adults.
