Excerpt from Training the Devotional Life
1. Training in Worship is an Essential Element in the Religious Education of Our Children. It is not enough that they be taught about God and about the issues of life, nor even that they be trained in Christian ways of living. They must be brought into the presence of God. They must learn to know Him for themselves. They must be helped to seek Him and to find Him, and to experience the joy of His love and grace.
We have always known this; but we have not always planned for it as we might, nor accomplished it as we should. We have too often assumed that instruction is the foundation, if not the whole, of education, both in religion and in other aspects of life. The teaching methods of our schools, both secular and religious, have been primarily, sometimes almost wholly, intellectual. We have thought that if we impart to our children right ideas about God and duty, their practise of love toward God and man will follow as a matter of course.
Our conception of education in general, however, has been changing. Schools have come closer to life and have developed more practical ways of teaching. Laboratory and manual methods, group work and social projects have made them places where children may indeed "learn by doing."
