Called to Teach and Learn is the Episcopal Church's official catechetical guide. It was called for by the General Convention in 1988 with preparatory work completed in 1992 and circulated for evaluation and comment by over 2000 individuals and groups from a majority of Episcopal Church dioceses resulting in a revised document presented to General Convention in 1994.
Called to Teach and Learn is intended to be a foundational, theoretical document with implied practice; written for clergy and laity with some foundational knowledge in theology and education, who have primary responsibility for the Church's educational ministry within congregations, dioceses, provinces, seminaries and the national staff. As such, it is not intended to provide a dogmatic position to be accepted and acted upon. It is rather intended to provide a vision, an ideal, a direction, and insights to stimulate and guide conversation and decision-making.
