Passing on the Faith is a plan of collaborative family-centred action to help parents and grandparents to pass on faith in God:

• to provide them with more support, tools and resources
  
• to respect the role of the family and to see how this fits with the roles of school and parish
  
• to provide comfort and healing where necessary

"Parents expressed a need for more help in raising their children in the Faith, both in terms of deepening their own understanding and being able to integrate it into the life of the home." (Not Easy But Full of Meaning)

Are you supporting parents as first teachers of their children in the faith in your parish or school? The Passing on the Faith working group is looking for examples and stories of good practice (ideas, experiences, processes, resources etc) from the local church. Please help us to identify work that may help others in supporting parents (and grandparents) to pass on faith in God to the next generation. Contact: goodideas@passingonthefaith.org.uk  or write to the Marriage and Family Life Project Office, CBCEW, 39 Eccleston Square, London SW1V 1BX . 

Working Group members: Jeff Astley (NEICE), Anne Ballard (Cardiff), Keith Barltrop (CASE), Veronica Murphy (Christian Formation Services), Linda Pennington (Leeds), Teresa Saunders (Marriage Care), David Wells (Plymouth) Elizabeth Davies.
