Excerpt from The Social Emphasis in Religious Education
In the reform that is now taking place in religious education certain things are fundamental, others accessory. The accessories were the first to attract popular attention. We were told that the hands of Sunday-school pupils, as well as their minds, require occupation. Teachers were urged to learn how to make a lesson plan, how to ask questions, how to tell stories. Great stress was laid upon the gradation of pupils and of lessons. All this advice is indispensable, and it is having excellent results. But there is a prior question, namely, What sort of men and women do we want our pupils to become, and therefore what principles shall control the content of our teaching?
No one can face this question intelligently without perceiving that the underlying issue concerns the part that religious education is to play in the social reconstruction that has begun to grip the conscience of the churches.
