Midwest Theological Forum's Didache Semester Series is a collection of high school textbooks, teacher's manuals, and student workbooks. Each title is for a single academic semester. These titles were created in response to the USCCB Subcommittee on the Catechism's 2007 curricular framework in order to aid in the development of religious education textbooks for Catholic high schools.
The textbook, Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue, corresponds to Elective E: Ecumenical and Interreligious Issues in the curriculum framework.
The textbook (sold separately) is published with ecclesiastical approval from the Archdiocese of Chicago, and it has been submitted for review for conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church to the USCCB Subcommittee on the Catechism.
