Youthful Creativity Within Our Christian Communities

Šime Samac

Abstract

The author emphasizes that creativity is a trait possessed by every individual to a certain extent. However, many elements are necessary for an individual to develop into a creative person in daily relationships. Contributory factors include a suitable environment, upbringing and instilled values.
Persons in charge of a child's upbringing must themselves live as authentic beings and radiate creativity. The author considers the relationships among creativity and instilled values, personal values as well as sociocultural values.
Particular consideration is devoted to the Church as an institution which can present an obstacle in creative religious education. Cathecism should be emphasized as an event of salvation rather than mere traditional texts and formulae. Christian communities which do not emphasize growth in the maturation of faith do not incite young people's enthusiasm.
