FAITH FORMATION STAGE
(Based on Fowler’s Faith Stages)
Young Adulthood to 30s and 40s
Individuate-Reflective Faith This
stage takes place into young
adulthood although not all enter it.
Language: Religious language is
like any other language: to learn to
speak it, one needs first to listen to
native speakers using it a lot, and
then one needs plenty of practice
speaking it oneself.
Identity: This is now defined as a
frame conscious of itself and
sustained without others. Truly
one's worldview. It is nonacademic, its embodied.
Paradox: Stories, symbols, myths
and paradoxes from one's own or
other traditions may insist on
breaking in upon the neatness of
the previous stages of faith.
Truth: There is a sense to the levels
of truthiness in one's life and
experiences.
Faith: A greater realization on faith
as foundational reality
