Adult religious educators were challenged to develop viable evangelization training programs for the laity. During the past fifteen years, a major andragogical problem has existed due to the lack of an empirical data base for this new constituency.

Show moreSince 1975, when a new era of Catholic evangelization was initiated, a unique cohort of adult learners emerged. Adult religious educators were challenged to develop viable evangelization training programs for the laity. During the past fifteen years, a major andragogical problem has existed due to the lack of an empirical data base for this new constituency. Virtually nothing was known about trained relational evangelizers except that they existed. The primary purpose of this pioneer study was to investigate and compare a sample of trained relational evangelizers with a sample of untrained lay Catholics in five psychological/theological/behavioral characteristics and four demographic variables. Data were gathered from 237 untrained Catholics and 139 trained relational evangelizers from Baton Rouge, Denver, Detroit and Miami. Instrumentation for this study included the "Self-Diagnostic Model of Present Competencies in Catholic Evangelization," the "Evangelistic Behavior Frequency Scale," and the "Prior Renewal Experience Checklist," all developed by the present researcher. Additionally, the "Intrinsic Religious Motivation Scale" (Hoge, 1972) and the "Spiritual Commitment Scale" (Gallup, 1984) were utilized. Scores were statistically analyzed by multiple regression analysis and two-way analysis of variance using the SP SSX program. Significant differences between the trained relational evangelizers and the untrained lay Catholics were found in all measurements except sex, age and education. Also, significant reliability coefficients were determined for the competency and frequency scales. Results of this study enable adult religious educators to identify characteristics and resources for future target populations in the field of Catholic evangelization training and to include empirically-based objectives in the design or revision of future or present training programs. Recommendations for further research included randomizing larger, equal regional cell samples; broadening the variables to include measures of self-esteem, self-actualization and personality types; and replicating the study among other religious faiths to develop interfaith comparisons. Related research was recommended including a comparative study of the effectiveness of relational and institutional evangelization; an investigative study to assess the laity's acceptance of their redefined role as evangelizers; and an historical study of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops' role in supporting evangelization efforts in the United States.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine the impact of pre-college Catholic education on selected undergraduates in three institutions of higher learning in Dade County, Florida, in three areas of concern: (1) community involvement, (2) support for Catholic schools, and (3) the level of social consciousness, with implications for the lay leader in the Catholic school system. A questionnaire was modified and delivered to three colleges in Dade County, Florida, to be distributed to a sampling of the freshman and sophomore classes. Through the use of standard follow-up procedures, a return of 66% was achieved. A base line, descriptive analysis of the data was conducted. The data did not show a large degree of difference in the perceived impact of those students who attended only Catholic schools as opposed to those who attended only non-Catholic schools or those who attended both kinds of schools. Differences were observed in items dealing with tuition tax credit, support for lay teachers, Catholics and organizational membership, teachers in Catholic schools and the right to strike, support for an archdiocesan school board, financial and moral support for the Catholic school system, and the need for federal support for teacher salaries and new buildings.
