catechization

Among the adversaries there is no catechization of the children whatever, concerning which even the canons give commands.

It was the prevailing confessional indifference, religious ignorance, and the neglect of Lutheran indoctrination by catechization, especially of the young.

Ministers, from every quarter, report with delight that catechization is regularly practised and grows in favor.

In 1871: "There has been a large increase in the membership, mostly through judiciously conducted protracted meetings and catechization."

It is a hopeful sign of substantial growth and prosperity in the Church that the time-honored custom of catechization is coming more and more into favor with the pastors.
