| dc.description.abstract | Jesus Christ is the model of all the religious involved in the task of formation. Founded on the spirituality of Jesus Christ and relying on the graces of God, the religious formators are involved in the nurture and growth of religious life ideals during the formation period. This study is aimed at bringing out the understanding of the ideal formator and the experience of formators in the formation process. It is hoped that the findings will help the formators and the religious fraternity in understanding the significant role performed by the persons put in charge of formation houses. The study focused on the relationships that exist between a formator and the formees and the challenges encountered in the process. It is an assessment and evaluation of factors that lead to a well-established formation team for effective placement of formees to realize the nurture of their talents for their wellbeing and the growth of Religious Institutes. It involved the two protagonists namely the formators and formees in religious institutes within Ojola Deanery of the Arch-Diocese of Kisumu. Formators are key players in the formation process. As shepherds, they are vital in the identification and nurture of the religious ideals in the lives of those aspiring for Religious Life. They are important in the development of the formees as religious and besides their work in formation, their person is equally important. It was the intention of this study to find out how the person of the formator as the shepherd (cf. Mt 26:31, Zec 13:7) impacts the overall outlook and orientation of the formees. The study used the qualitative research method and also reviewed what other authors have documented concerning formators and the processes involved in the religious formation. It is divided into three chapters with a general introduction and conclusion and recommendations arising from the exercise. | en_US |
