“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace, who brings good news.” Isaiah 52:7
This episode continues our book study on The Good Shepherd and the Child: A Joyful Journey. Lynne Worthington discusses with us some practical ways that adults and families can sit beside the child in their religious development. She lifts up the role of the environment, especially the home, as an aid to that spiritual growth.
Lynne Worthington worked for 30 years as a catechist for children and adults at
Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Durham, NC. She also served as the
coordinator for CGS in Immaculata School and for the parish.
Since 1991 she has taken part in National Formation courses for the Catechesis
of the Good Shepherd, earning certificates as a catechist for all three levels, ages 3-12
years old. She has participated in numerous formation leadership workshops and is
recognized as a formation leader by the National Association of The Catechesis of the
Good Shepherd. She holds an MA degree in Pastoral Studies from Aquinas Institute of
Theology in St. Louis, MO.
Lynne now lives in Ball Ground, GA and volunteers in Atria in the Archdiocese of
Atlanta. She and her husband, Bill, have three grown children and two grandchildren.
