Moral Dev VS Faith Dev
Moral development:
A description of ones behavior towards others, based purely on one’s level of reasoning
Religious faith:
An inspired, impassioned, affirmative response to a divine directive on human relations
James Fowler: Stages of Faith
theories applied to faith across to lifespan
Faith
○ neither religious “ generic feature of human struggle to find and maintain meaning which may or may not find religious expression”
○ relational
○ Involves sensitivity to stimuli of internal images and ability to respond to that stimuli
Stages: strengths and limitations RE: God
• Ultimate environment = God
One’s relational stance to the faith image
God
(Fowler - stages of faith)
pre-stage: undifferentiated faith
undifferentiated faith (infancy)
- pre-images of the ultimate env (GOD) begin here
- (piaget object permamence) infant develops healthy centeredness to GOD if: mother is a faithful presence (mother returns, mirrors & soothes)
(Fowler - stages of faith)
Stage 1: intuitive-projective faith
Stage 1: intuitive-projective faith (early childhood)
magical thinking; questions of what & why
Stories and parental responses: influential on lasting images of ultimate env.
- child imagination is honored
- stories of good/evil (communicates values/beliefs)
- may be found in older ppl who are regressing/psychotic
(similar to piaget - pre-operational stage)
Mythic-literal faith
Mythic-literal faith (school yrs 6-10yrs)
piaget “concrete operations”
logical/authority/tradition
conform to beliefs of community
stuck in “works of righteousness”
no need for personal relationship
neglect/abandonement = sense of beign bad
reasoning: fantasy/reality = brings order to previous fantasies
transition to stage 3 = finding discrepancies
Synthetic- conventional
Synthetic-Conventional (adolescence)
synthesize own story - no ability to critically analyze own story
alienation from others = alienation from God (relationships with others reflect personal relationship with God)
interpersonal betrayal = despair in own relationship with God
piaget “formal operations” - abstract thinking/reasoning
task: successful internalization of beliefs & practices of community
Individuative-reflective
Individuative-reflective (young adulthood)
stories critically analyzed
paradoxes/life complexities recognized
polar issues are struggled with to resolve inner tension
may become too reliant upon own critical abilities & excessive confidence (knowing everything)
goal=create rationale,workable worldview
symbols analyzed
critical self-reflection on one’s own beliefs and how they were arrive
conjunctive faith
conjunctive faith (mid-life)
polar issues no longer problems
personal faith is highly valued
committments must be lived out regardless of consequences
community = spritual fellowship with all humans
*only 1 our of every 6 over age 31
must ppl don’t reach this stage
Universalizing Faith
most mid-life
awareness that ultimate env = all beings
sacrificial lives (ghandi, mother theresa)
ver rare
2-3ppl per 1,000
Image of God (ultimate environment)
- Consciously or unconsciously held
- Has the dynamics of a relationship
- Is the most important force in the person’s life (shapes perceptions/passions)
- Changes throughout the lifespan as the result of faith development through stages

school years
