<description><![CDATA[During his fourth year of Irish seminary, Thomas Groome was assigned to teach religion class to high school sophomores. By the end of the second week, he knew he was â€œfailing miserably.â€ So he asked his students what they were interested in learning. â€œThe secret was to bring life to faith, and faith to life,â€ he says. 

Groome continues to implement this approach in his contemporary work. A professor of theology and religious education at Boston College, his primary areas of interest and research are the history, theory, and practice of religious education. Educating for Life: A Spiritual Vision for Every Teacher and Parent, published in 2001, mirrors his teaching styleâ€”full of stories, examples, and good questions. His most recent books include Reclaiming Catholicism: Treasures Old and New (editor) (2010), and What Makes Us Catholic: Eight Gifts for Life (2003). 

In the video, Groome examines the intersection between religious education and practical theology. 

Hosted by the School of Theologyâ€™s Center for Practical Theology on September 22, 2010.]]></description>
