you mean by “Rites of Passage”…<br />
In essence, a rite of passage<br />
is an invitation to something<br />
greater than oneself. Unfortunately,<br />
in our culture most teenagers<br />
don’t feel like an adult until<br />
they get their driver’s license or<br />
lose their virginity. These are<br />
horrible rites of passage. They<br />
don’t invite the teenager to<br />
something greater than himself/<br />
herself, they invite the teenager<br />
back to themselves. We wanted<br />
to create a shared spiritual experience<br />
for parents and their children<br />
that honored that major<br />
transition of each year while also<br />
inviting them to faith and family.<br />
What is an example of one of<br />
the “Rites of Passage” that<br />
you talk about in your book?<br />
One of my favorites is the 2nd<br />
grade rite of passage. That’s the<br />
“Invitation to the Bible.” By this<br />
point most 2nd graders are able<br />
to read, and that means that<br />
they are able to read the Bible<br />
for themselves for the first time.<br />
We honor this by encouraging<br />
the parents to buy their 2nd<br />
grader a Bible and have loved<br />
ones mark their favorite verse<br />
and write a note of encouragement.<br />
Then the parents present<br />
the Bible to the 2nd grader<br />
along with explaining to them the<br />
importance of the Bible in their<br />
own lives.<br />
What other ministries are you<br />
both engaged in?<br />
As I mentioned earlier, I run<br />
ParentMinistry.net which helps<br />
church build an excellent Parent<br />
Ministry.<br />
