“I’ll forever be grateful to my childhood pastor for making me read the Heidelberg Catechism and meet in his office with him to talk about it before I made a profession of faith in the fourth grade. I was nervous to meet with him, even more nervous to meet before all the elders. But both meetings were pleasant. And besides, I was forced to read through all 129 questions and answers at age nine.That was a blessing I didn’t realize at the time. Ever since then I’ve had a copy of the Catechism and have grown to understand it and cherish it more and more over the years.” ChristianityTheologyCatechismReformed TheologyReformedHeidelberg CatechismChristianity Basic FaithReformed CatechismUrsinusZacharias Ursinus Book:The Good News We Almost Forgot: Rediscovering the Gospel in a 16th Century Catechism Source: The Good News We Almost Forgot: Rediscovering the Gospel in a 16th Century Catechism
