19. Primal (Undifferentiated)

understanding of symbols

20. Imaginative Faith
(Intuitive-Projective)
 Age 4-7
 Highly dependent of parents, family member
 Imitates faith of adults
 Timeline: Do you remember any significant
impressions of your faith as a young child?

21. Literal Faith
(Mythical-Literal)
 Age 7-10
 Separation of real from the unreal
 Development of ―private thoughts‖

that helped your faith as a teen or adolescent.

23. Personal Faith
(Individuative-Reflective)
 Young Adulthood
 Moral authority moves to self
 Confidence in moral choices
 Differentiation between symbol and meaning
 Timeline: When did your faith become
―personal‖ – when did you say ―this is my
faith?‖
