Small Group and Panel Discussion on Faith
Here’s a discussion activity that can be used with several different theology subject areas. Begin by having the students meet in groups of four and discuss the following questions one at a time: What does the statement “faith is a contact with the mystery of God" mean to you? When have you experienced the mystery of God? “To believe in Jesus Christ is to abandon ourselves to Christ.” How have you been able to live this challenge? How would your faith be different in absence of the Church? What does it mean for you to belong to the Body of Christ? Call on one member of each group to come to the front of the class and form a panel. Ask each question again, calling on the panel members to summarize responses they discussed in their original groups.
