Excerpt from Family-Centered Religious Education: A Military Ministry After reflecting on the changing family, subject to so many pressures today, and looking at the advantages to be found in a family-centered religious education program, it remains but to choose the best program models. As would be expected, there are a number of family-centered programs available that can influence family life and that are appropriate for military families. One of these programs is the Marriage Encounter program that builds on the art of parental communication. Another is the Family Cluster Education with its focus on values clarification and total religious education. The Parent Effectiveness Training and Effective Parenting Programs are worthy of note for they facilitate family communication and teach skills most useful for family life. The Family Enrichment program where parents and children attend classes, receive resource materials, and work on projects together at home, is a meaningful thrust that involves all members of the family and teaches them to work together as a unit.
