    • Abstract:
      The author discusses strategies he uses as a teacher to nurture belief or faith among skeptical students. He describes his goal of assisting Catholic schools in their attempts to nourish a Catholic identity in situations where apathy, hostility or skepticism may challenge religious belief. He recommends animating a spirit of inquiry with students and getting them to think of faith in contexts that are not explicitly religious but which may possess religious implications.
