When working with students assignments that deals with religion, we as educators have to take various things into considerations. We have to allow students the opportunity to express themselves even when dealing with religious

First and foremost, it is common knowledge that spirituality champions for good morals, equity, respect for human dignity, ethics and equality among all members of the human race. It is the above virtues that facilitate harmony and peaceful coexistence of human beings in all our day to day interactions. Reinhold, from his studies conducted in one of Detroit’s big automobile factories, noted numerous conflicts between Christian ideals and the realities that were in the industry. Surprisingly enough, Edward Earle conducted a research on twelve of America’s major corporations and urged all Americans to emulate them, a totally different thought from what

“Christ’s call on you as a student is a calling to meet the needs of the Church, both for its own life and the life of the world” (Hauerwas). He urges students to appreciate the four years they spend on a college campus and to use it as a ministry that will ultimately better the kingdom of the Lord. He suggests meeting the needs of the church is by furthering our education. Thus, the Church has a job to do: to explain why belief in the risen Lord actually makes sense” (Hauerwas). It’s very important for Christians to be able to explain logically why we believe. “You may at least make someone think twice before he rejects the risen

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” (Proverbs 22:6, NIV). Mankind throughout the ages has interpreted the scriptures, more or less with their worldly assessment. We as Christians struggle with truth and understanding of the true nature of the Scriptures. Some Christians are not scholars or willing to put the time into Scriptures to understand the Scriptures as a whole. Some people believe what they want, discard what is not useful and form their own individual assessment of Scriptures. I have offered Bible studies classes for the congregation and none were interested in attending. From time to time, one of the visitors or the two new members will ask me a question about Scriptures or the sermon. I try to remind them they / we have a Rector to turn to. In the past, Reverend Janis has told the vestry that they needed to take “Safeguarding God’s People class” and offered the class to the congregation. The turnout for the class was disappointing to me, as only three of us showed

It is imperative that we as humans study scripture reasonably and not view it in an irrational manner.

To understand how each group looks at scripture as well as other documents to back up their view of the law, grasping others perspectives can be different. Paula

The article focused on the views of three religious studies faculty teaching at large public universities in the Southern United States. They compared their institutions within the group and with other institutions from different regions of the United States. Due to an overwhelming Christian character of their institutions became the common theme as they we conceptualized their challenges in teaching. Their classrooms were made up of predominantly Christian students who carry with them their own religious perspectives and a set of associated expectations about what they should learn. Even when their students

As an academic discipline, theology should share mutual and erudite goals with other academic disciplines: whereas theology strives for historical accuracy, conceptual consistency, interpretive clarity and systematic uniformity, yet it is much more a hope than a science. Also problematic, there is an eternal perspective, a paradigm that we cannot understand. Theology is theory, there are no proofs, the only proof I have is in my heart, and I call that the Spirit of truth (faith). Still, I am conscience that I bring my own set of prejudices, and hopes to this matter. I have good reason to mistrust many of my conclusions. The systematic method of theology looks at many issues wherein much diversity exists, diversity of historical thought, methods, and approaches. Within all this diversity, there are constants. In examining the methods of theology, we must recognize both the diversity and the constancy. One constant is Scripture. Yet, the meaning of Scripture is divers and restricted to interpretation. I think Biblical authority at its best, most earnestly means one does not affirm it as truth without struggling to understand its meaning. I ascribe to a certain authority of scripture, and trust in a divine nature within it. For me, this means addressing questions like: What is the context and the point of this passage? What is it calling me to do? What does this say about the nature of

Anti-biblical schooling is something that is so very common in the days that we live in now, many schools around the world and especially in the United states of america are not biblical schools. There are 30,861 private schools in all the united states , serving 5.3 million K4-12 grade students. 80 percent of those schools are religiously-affiliated schools which is not enough schools to have biblical aspects inside of schools because of what the world is becoming and turning into now. The criteria for Non-biblical schools are that staff must treat all student-initiated groups equally regardless of the religious, political, philosophical or other orientation of groups. Non-biblical schools believe in “ No religion should be taught at school.” because they simply say that it can’t affect and badly influence what some parents already installed into their children. In the non-biblical schools there’s no teachers

Educators need to understand the impact of religion on the lives of their students. According to Gallup poll data, nearly 95% of teens believe in God and 86% believe that Jesus Christ is either God or the Son of God (Gallup & Lindsay, 1999 as cited in Ream, 2003). These and other similar statistics demonstrate the importance of considering religion when dealing with young people. Ream

As Christian educators, we are called to promote and support learning in those areas. True teaching is a sharing of realities, likening the teaching process and weaving connections between their teachings and understandings themselves and the world around them. If we do not make connections for the students to the world around them, many times these precious gifts graced upon them will be overlooked or passed by because the young minds may not be able to recognize them. Some areas of observation might be seen as open doors to see or perceive and understand something of God and His motion as reflected through the created world and the Bible. Other areas might be seen as open doors to respond, apply, express and practice in ways that are consistent with biblical values. When these areas are discovered and embraced, many times they can address the major developmental needs in the spiritual, intellectual, physical, social, and emotional realms of the student’s life. Identifying these areas is helping the students begin their walk with the Lord and their own calling.

Christian education is an intentional process in developing relationship with God for the purpose of fulfilling the mandate to “go and make disciples of all nations, to “preach and teach” the good news of the gospel of Christ, and to build the Kingdom of God. In developing and incorporating evangelism and discipleship into a current Christian education program I believe that involvement of the entire membership of the congregation should be employed (all age

Achieving high grades and doing well in school has previously been attributed to knowledge of Biblical learning. In his article “The relationship between Biblical literacy, academic achievement, and school behavior…,” William Jeynes talks about how a study was completed by 160 students who were grades 7th through 12th. The student’s Biblical knowledge was tested. The end results proved to be that the students with the highest level of Biblical knowledge also had the highest grade point averages and portrayed the best behavior of students from both public and Christian schools (p. 102-106).
