Talk:Catechumen

Please tell me your ideas, where the cathehumans stated on galleries or not?

Came here from the "destubbification" link. has this topic been destubbified or not (new user, unsure of the rapidity of edits or the exact definition of "stub"). Jeremynicholas 16:39, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Have added a paragraph showing the "flow" from interested party to baptized Christian, and added a few comments relating to your point on their occupying galleries in the church buildings.

The additions to the first paragraph in "Christian practice", about the disciples that Paul found and the second-century practice, may not add much to the article and there may be a better way of putting the information in. Jeremynicholas 17:24, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Have now substantially added to the article to de-stubbify it more. Another couple of paragraphs on denominational practice and catechumens during the middle ages and the project will be finished. However, would be good if someone can review this! Jeremynicholas 16:30, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Has two meanings

The term catechumens can also mean a building, known in full as a House of the catechumens according to Richard Dawkins^[1] and as shown here. This should be reflected in a disambiguation page. Malick78 (talk) 10:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Pronunciation

In the narration of Brideshead Revisited, Jeremy Irons pronounces catechumen something like "CATCH-you-men" instead of the more familiar "cat-e-KYOO-men" (sorry for the stupid transcription, but I don't feel like struggling with the IPA right now). I can't find his pronunciation supported anywhere. Is it simply a mistake on his part (hard to believe), or is that a British pronunciation that just isn't well documented online? I'm from the US, so I've got no clue. Thanks.--Jim10701 (talk) 01:35, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

English orthographic "Ch" corresponding to the Greek letter Chi was traditionally always pronounced k (with a very few special exceptions, such as the prefix "arch-" when attached to words beginning with a consonant, which have no relevance to the word "catechumen" that I can see)...
