The Catechumenate
The long road of formation that prepares a convert for the font
The catechumenate is the structured period of instruction, examination, and spiritual formation that converts underwent before baptism, attested in early church orders and in Cyril of Jerusalem's Catechetical Lectures. Historically it was widespread in the Church. It was revived in modern Catholicism as the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, while many Protestant bodies prepare converts in less formal ways.
