Greetings from The Episcopal Church and the Camino Project!
The enclosed Advent resource is for families to take home and use during the Advent season to help them create space to have faithful conversations and experiences together.
The Camino Project grew out of a Lilly Foundation grant awarded to the Episcopal Church’s Department of Faith Formation to address the global needs of our culturally diverse family structures and congregations. This project offers the possibility of immense learning and discovery, not only for the Episcopal church, but for any parent or caregiver seeking to pass on their Christian faith to their children in our ever-changing world.
We know that mothers, fathers, and caregivers are the greatest influence on children’s faith. We also know that they are very busy with the multiple demands facing their families.
The Camino Project will offer opportunities throughout the parenting process for both families and congregations to experiment with a variety of resources, community groups, and Camino moments / sacred expeditions, each prompted by a key moment in family life.
