This paper explores the educational practices of the Syriac Antiochene Maronite Catholic Church in the United States towards Maronite children and adults. The paper proposes, to a large extent, that the current educational forms have led to an uncritical obedience to the ecclesial tradition. These forms are: Qurbono (liturgy), catechetical texts, storytelling, and communal modeling. Part one of the paper contextualizes the conversation and describes the four educational forms practiced within the tradition. Part two argues for a refashioning of the educational forms so that they are consistent with a more dialogical and multi-linguistic approach. This is achieved through the practice of being prophetically obedient and placing the current educational practices of the group in direct conversation with prophetic literature. It offers a renewed vision of pedagogy and curriculum for Maronite Religious Education in the United States. The aim is to accompany and guide the Maronite people towards a Prophetic Obedience to this ancient tradition in a revitalized form.

马龙派教会的空缺：对传统的预言服从

本文探讨了美国叙利亚安提阿克斯马龙派天主教会对马龙派儿童和成人的教育实践。本文在很大程度上建议，当前的教育形式导致对教会传统的不加批判的服从。这些形式是：Qurbono（礼拜式），叙事文本，讲故事和公共建模。本文的第一部分对对话进行了语境化，并描述了传统中实践的四种教育形式。第二部分主张对教育形式进行重新调整，以使其与更多的对话和多语言方法保持一致。这是通过预言服从的做法并将该小组当前的教育实践与预言文学直接对话来实现的。它为美国的马龙派宗教教育提供了崭新的教学法和课程构想。目的是以振兴的形式陪伴和引导马龙派教徒遵循这一古老传统的先知顺从。
