We have adopted 8 yr old twin boys (adopted a nearly 6 yoa- both ADHD, but fairly intelligent). They regularily attend Sunday school/church, but I'd like to have them memorize a catechism. The one I'm thinking of using is Great Commission Publishers, "First Catechism". It contains 145 questions and was what we used when I was in the OPC in Georgia.
My wife remembers memorizing a catechism when she was about 9, but can't recall how many questions there were. I grew up R.C. alterboy and memorized the mass in Latin (didn't know a thing I was saying though)
If/when they do memorize the questions, is it customary to have them recite all 145 questions to the pastor in one sitting? I just seems like a lot. Or maybe I expect too little from my guys.
Thanks for any input.
