CATEQUESIS Y FAMILIAS MULTICULTURALES (Workshop Repeated in English #C-1) A-1 Dr. Hosffman Ospino, Assistant Professor of Theology and Education, Boston College, Boston, Massachusetts La familia es el contexto más inmediato en el cual una generación comparte la fe con la siguiente. ¿Cómo hacen esto las familias católicas en medio de la diversidad cultural que caracteriza el catolicismo estadounidense en el siglo XXI? En esta presentación reflexionaremos sobre esta pregunta clave, prestando atención a la manera como las familias católicas en los Estados Unidos comparten la fe a la luz de distintas tradiciones culturales. También exploraremos algunas realidades contemporáneas de nuestra cultura que con frecuencia desafían la vocación de la familia católica a ser una comunidad evangelizadora auténtica. Pensaremos en estrategias prácticas para ayudar a las familias católicas a compartir la fe con entusiasmo.
