Walking Together in Solidarity:A Theology of Accompaniment
Why a Theology of Accompaniment?Provides those who work with young people and families a framework for understanding how we are called to love God, love self and love others for the purpose of being in relationships that are authentic, meaningful, just and transformative.
Faith Formation in a Missional Age
What is the theological underpinning that grounds our mission in faith formation?
What is a Theology of Accompaniment and why is it important for faith formation to incorporate this theological understanding?
What skills help us cultivate a Theology of Accompaniment with young people and families?
How do we meet young people where they are and help them translate this theology into a way of being?
The incarnation has made these very children our responsibility, our beloved brothers and sisters.
We must reach out to their humanity even if it means the suffering of our own humanity,
for this is the way of the cross. It may be that the reason they don’t trust our
offers of friendship is that they intuitively know that we are not willing to see, hear and accompany
them in their deepest suffering.We have offered them trips to Disneyland, silly
games and ‘cool’ youth rooms, not companionship in their darkest nights, their scariest hells.”
Andrew Root, Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry
Grounding Our Theology
How has God been incarnate in your life?
How have you been an incarnational presence and how has someone been this for you?
What are the struggles that present themselves when we engage in this way?
What are the implications of using a “theology of incarnation” in our settings?
On the Road to EmmausLuke 24: 13-35

Relating a Theology of Accompaniment
AUTHENTIC
We are aware of our thoughts and feelings and how they affect the other person. We reveal our true selves and speak with integrity, compassion and honesty
MEANINGFUL
Those relationships that seek to carry the joys and burdens with the other. These relationships push you to not only find meaning in your life, but share with each other in ways that are transparent and seek to build up and not tear down
Relating a Theology of Accompaniment
JUST
How do we use our power in relationship? Do we see people as whole beings – formed by their personal, cultural, societal, economic, religious and other narratives. Just relationships cause us to care for one another in ways that level the playing field and allow us to walk together instead of walk ahead or behind each other.
TRANSFORMATIVE
Relationships are transformative when they consistently push you to be your best self. They challenge you and hold you accountable. They provide space for reflection and encourage creativity.
