The Church: Christ in the World Today

To ensure our Teacher Guides are used to assist teachers, and do not become a resource for the students, it is Saint Mary’s Press’ policy to only ship this Teacher Guide to a school. If you would like a copy shipped to a location other than a school, or would like to receive a review copy, please contact our customer care department.

This course guides the students in exploring and understanding the Catholic Church, as well as its origin, structure, and mission. Additionally, the course addresses the roles of the hierarchy, those in religious life, and the laity in supporting the mission of the Church. Particular attention is paid to the global presence of the Church as a light to all people.

The alternate teacher guide has been carefully crafted to help the teacher lead students in exploring the content of the Living in Christ Series.

The teacher guide follows the student book in sequential order and offers a variety of homework and activity resources to help students learn and understand the material. Each section of the guide contains activities, discussion questions, suggestions for homework, section wrap-up projects, At-a-Glance boxes that outline learning objectives and identify resources, and more.

The teacher guide provides a wide variety of exercises to engage the different learning styles of the students. It also offers suggestions on how to use additional resources such as the Bible and primary source documents.
