      In St. Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians, we are told, “There is one Lord, one faith and one baptism.” But what is the process for preparing adults for reception into the full communion of the Catholic Church? Is it the same process as the one for those who are being initiated? This workshop will present the vision of Sections 4 and 5 of Part II of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. It will help clarify the distinct theological and pastoral realities of the already baptized. It will also explore appropriate paths of pastoral and liturgical formation for those who are baptized.
