Is your confirmation class more like a Catechism Cataclysm? This 50 minute
rock musical chronicles the adventures of one such class struggling with
their memory work. They need to pass the big exam in order to go on the
canoe trip. The most unique feature of this work is that composers Jay
Beech and Dave Eliason have set several sections of Luther's Small
Catechism to music. This resource can be done as a stage production, but
the recording is is also widely used as a learning tool.
Item
This upbeat rock song is a setting of Luther's explanation of the
second article of the Apostles' Creed. The words tell of the saving
work of Jesus Christ through his suffering, death, and resurrection, and
sing with joy of his dominion in the life of the believer.
