Which term refers to schools for new converts?

• A. Catechumenal
• B. Catechetical
• C. Cathedral/Episcopalian
• D. Monasticism

Answer: (A)

This asks about terminology for instruction specifically geared toward people preparing to join the faith. The term that best fits “schools for new converts” is catechumenal, because it relates to the catechumenate—the period and materials used to educate and form catechumens before baptism. Catechumenal captures the idea of structured instruction for converts, whereas catechetical refers to catechesis in general (not limited to converts), monasticism describes life in monasteries, and cathedral/Episcopalian points to church buildings or a denomination rather than instructional programs for new converts.
