Depuis plusieurs ann\u00e9es, l’Eglise protestante de Gen\u00e8ve r\u00e9fl\u00e9chit \u00e0 de nouvelles mani\u00e8res de proposer aux enfants une cat\u00e9ch\u00e8se qui correspond \u00e0 leurs besoins spirituels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longtemps, on a pens\u00e9 que la cat\u00e9ch\u00e8se proc\u00e9dait d\u2019une instruction verticale. Puis, au cours des ann\u00e9es 70, on a privil\u00e9gi\u00e9 l\u2019aspect ludique de l\u2019enseignement biblique. La r\u00e9flexion actuelle, \u00e0 la lumi\u00e8re des r\u00e9centes d\u00e9couvertes dans le domaine p\u00e9dagogique, tend \u00e0 consid\u00e9rer que l\u2019enfant est capable d\u2019une r\u00e9flexion propre sur son environnement social, physique, intellectuel et spirituel. L\u2019enjeu devient alors pour nous, cat\u00e9ch\u00e8tes, de mettre l\u2019enfant en pr\u00e9sence des textes bibliques afin de lui permettre de d\u00e9velopper sa propre pens\u00e9e et d\u2019\u00e9laborer, au m\u00eame titre qu\u2019un adulte ou un adolescent, une r\u00e9flexion th\u00e9ologique. On dit l\u2019enfant \u00ab\u202fcapable de Dieu\u202f\u00bb.\u00a0

C\u2019est ce qu\u2019on appelle aujourd\u2019hui\u00a0la th\u00e9ologie ou la spiritualit\u00e9 de l\u2019enfant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aujourd\u2019hui, une approche en particulier nous semble correspondre \u00e0 cette mani\u00e8re de prendre l\u2019enfant au s\u00e9rieux\u202f: le Godly Play\u00ae<\/a>. Intraduisible en fran\u00e7ais\u202f: \u00ab\u202fle jeu de Dieu (!)\u202f\u00bb. Il se d\u00e9cline en plusieurs temps\u202f:\u00a0\u00a0

\u2022<\/em> le r\u00e9cit d\u2019une histoire biblique,\u00a0\u00a0
\u2022<\/em> un temps de discussion th\u00e9ologique, utilisant les outils des communaut\u00e9s de recherches philosophiques,\u00a0\u00a0
\u2022<\/em> un moment de cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9 personnel en r\u00e9ponse au r\u00e9cit,\u00a0\u00a0
\u2022<\/em> un \u00ab\u202ffestin\u202f\u00bb \u00e9voquant le partage du pain et du vin,\u00a0\u00a0
\u2022<\/em> un temps de pri\u00e8re et de b\u00e9n\u00e9diction.\u00a0\u00a0

L\u2019originalit\u00e9 de cette m\u00e9thode tient \u00e0 la fois au mat\u00e9riel et \u00e0 la d\u00e9marche. Vous pouvez satisfaire votre curiosit\u00e9 en allant sur le site\u202fgodlyplay.ch<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

De mani\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, prendre au s\u00e9rieux l\u2019enfant th\u00e9ologien implique une posture plus horizontale de l’adulte, l\u2019invitant \u00e0 accompagner les enfants dans leur recherche, plut\u00f4t qu\u2019\u00e0 leur donner des r\u00e9ponses toutes faites, que ce soit lors de c\u00e9l\u00e9brations, de s\u00e9ances de cat\u00e9chisme ou dans les activit\u00e9s d\u2019un centre a\u00e9r\u00e9.  

Cette mani\u00e8re de vivre la cat\u00e9ch\u00e8se n\u00e9cessite une formation pour prendre conscience des effets de la posture de l\u2019accompagnant et d\u00e9velopper des outils pour ouvrir au dialogue et \u00e0 la discussion dans un cadre solide et s\u00e9curisant.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aujourd\u2019hui plus que jamais, ce qui m\u2019int\u00e9resse (…), c\u2019est d\u2019aider les enfants \u00e0 acqu\u00e9rir des outils pour se former leur propre pens\u00e9e, leur propre dialogue int\u00e9rieur, leur propre spiritualit\u00e9, dans un monde qui les sur-stimule sans toujours les respecter, qui les expose sans pudeur \u00e0 des r\u00e9alit\u00e9s multiples et parfois effrayantes. C\u2019est leur donner une\u202fvraie\u202fplace, sans leur donner le vertige de prendre\u202ftoute\u202fla place. C\u2019est les prendre au s\u00e9rieux, avec amour et humour. C\u2019est leur donner le go\u00fbt des histoires, celles de la Bible en particulier\u202f; c\u2019est partager avec eux ce qui me permet de garder le sourire m\u00eame quand les temp\u00eates se d\u00e9cha\u00eenent\u202f: \u00e9couter avec le c\u0153ur. Et redire avec un de mes grands inspirateurs, Saint\u2013Exup\u00e9ry\u202f: \u00ab\u202fL\u2019amour, lorsqu\u2019il a germ\u00e9, donne des racines qui n\u2019en finissent plus de cro\u00eetre.\u202f\u00bb<\/em> Florence Auvergne-Abric<\/p>\n\n\n\n
