And yet in the context of working with children there is so much more to take account of when considering the stages of faith development (I have blogged about this so much cyberpeople are probably fed up hearing from me! Give her a glass of wine and sit her in the corner they may say!)<BR/><BR/>Bit Westerhoff's stages weren't written about children; they take account of the stages of faith development which are inextricably linked in to cognitive development and external stimuli. We know that many of the guys in jail have not had the same life chances that others have and as a former secondary teacher I would reckon that some of those inside have learning difficulties or additional support needs of some sort.<BR/><BR/>And so a quick "WHAM BAM you're saved" without nurture - the same nurture flowing out from us through the "its all rosy" experiential stage shown to the prisoner struggling through to the questioning phase is essential.<BR/><BR/>For me that word "nurture" is vital.lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13386263352332136809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257056374166663396.post-14369848899289223972008-06-21T05:01:00.000+01:002008-06-21T05:01:00.000+01:00Amen, amen, amen.

I just don't think hit and run evangelism can work unless there is a way to get the person solidly grounded and nurtured, and that best happens through relationship.Ruth Hull Chatlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797146501548509911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257056374166663396.post-7106052018613323822008-06-21T00:21:00.000+01:002008-06-21T00:21:00.000+01:00As a soon to be former fellow Chaplain in prison w...As a soon to be former fellow Chaplain in prison work, I share your issues about Hit and Run evangelism. I believe that long term followup is absolutely necessary after a conversion experience. This is true in any setting, but I believe particularly critical in prison.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404578054102245724noreply@blogger.com
