The Psychological Disciplines In Theological Education, Paul W. Pruyser
The Psychological Disciplines In Theological Education, Paul W. Pruyser
Concordia Theological Monthly
Much has been written during the last decade about the relevance of certain aspects of psychology and psychiatry to the professional role and work of ministers. When one surveys the massive literature which has been produced in this area of concern one is impressed at first by great topical variety. which ranges from theological critiques of psychological concepts and theories to pastoral counseling; from the psychological screening of candidates for the ministry to how pastors might deal with grief; from life situation preaching to techniques of supervision in clinical pastoral training courses.
Friction Points In Church-State Relations In The United States, Carl S. Meyer
Friction Points In Church-State Relations In The United States, Carl S. Meyer
Concordia Theological Monthly
The encroachments of aggressive churches, especially the Roman Catholic Church, and the voraciousness of power-hungry governmental agencies are dominant trends in church-state relations in the United States. Education remains the largest single area in which conflicts arc found. Augusta, Maine, and Hartford, Conn., can bear ample testimony to this fact. However, there are other aspects of the question. The conflicts touch family relations, race relations, labor relations. Conflict arises from a desire to promote social reform, as in Ohio by the demands of pastors for antigambling legislation.
Roman Catholic Child Welfare In The United States, Lewis W. Spitz
Roman Catholic Child Welfare In The United States, Lewis W. Spitz
Concordia Theological Monthly
Roman Catholic child welfare is concerned with the dependent child, including the delinquent child, which for one reason or another has gone wrong. Roman Catholic social workers recognize the change that has taken place from the days when education was the distinctive function of the home-first, on the mother's knee, and then beside the father in the fields to the present time, when this function has largely been institutionalized and schools for the most part exercise this responsibility.
The Administrators Of Parish Education, M. L. Koehneke
The Administrators Of Parish Education, M. L. Koehneke
Concordia Theological Monthly
It should be noted from the very outset that the administration of education in a Christian parish is a unique process, for it draws its concepts from the precepts of God, and not the ideologies of men. We shall therefore not spend time in the beginning of this paper with a presentation of the various definitions and methods of "administration" from secular sources. We do not disparage them; we rather prefer to try to develop our own from certain basic Christian concepts.
John Chrysostom On The Christian Home As A Teacher, Arthur C. Repp
John Chrysostom On The Christian Home As A Teacher, Arthur C. Repp
Concordia Theological Monthly
John Chrysostom is known in the Christian Church primarily as the greatest pulpit orator of the fourth century. His excellency as a preacher, which also made him an outstanding example of the Antioch school of theology, has. in a measure, caused the Church to lose sight of his contributions to educational thought. Yet according to one authority John wrote the finest pedagogic treatise of the patristic era and developed "a method of sex instruction that is without superior in the history of education." In spite of this high tribute, however, the church father has been either generally ignored by American …

A Statement On Parents' Rights And The School Question, A. C. Mueller
Concordia Theological Monthly
The United Evangelical Lutheran Church of Germany, The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, and the National Lutheran Council invited educators and theologians of the United States, Germany, and other European countries to a study conference (June 1-10 at Bad Boll, Germany) on parents' rights and the school in the modern state. This was the first of four study conferences, and when the Germans set apart the entire conference for the study of Christian education and its current problems, they indicated how vital this problem is in Germany today. The findings of this seminar were summarized in the statement which is herewith submitted.
The Effect Of The Trend Toward Religious Schools On Public Schools, Clarence Peters
The Effect Of The Trend Toward Religious Schools On Public Schools, Clarence Peters
Concordia Theological Monthly
Before investigating the topic before us, it may be well for us to inquire· into the reason why some churches maintain their own schools. The reason is not that they do not appreciate the public school or the advantages which these tax-supported schools have brought to the people of America.
A Review Of Moehlman's "School And Church: The American Way.", O. C. Rupprecht
A Review Of Moehlman's "School And Church: The American Way.", O. C. Rupprecht
Concordia Theological Monthly
Which is ''the American way" for the religious training of American children? According to Dr. C.H. Moehlman, Professor of the History of Christianity at the Colgate-Rochester Divinity School, the American way is a different one from that pursued in Christian parochial schools. It is different, too, from the plan of "various religious groups" who "are conducting a vigorous propaganda for the return of the formal teaching of religion to the public classroom" (p. ix). The American way is to let public schools (in preference to parochial schools) and churches exist side by side, and to encourage them in at least …
Toward A Lutheran Philosophy Of Education, Paul Bretscher
Toward A Lutheran Philosophy Of Education, Paul Bretscher
Concordia Theological Monthly
Were we asked: How did modern education arrive at its present status? we would reply that the answer to this query is not difficult to give, at least it is not difficult to register pertinent observations.
Toward A Lutheran Philosophy Of Education, Paul Bretscher
Toward A Lutheran Philosophy Of Education, Paul Bretscher
Concordia Theological Monthly
This is not the first attempt in our circles to approach the subject of "a Lutheran philosophy of education." Every committee of Synod which was charged with the task to examine and, by helpful suggestions, to improve our program of higher education has, with varying degrees of comprehensiveness, articulated our philosophy of education. Especially is this true of the work done by Synod's recent "Curriculum Committees," which laid down guiding objectives of education in their reports on our junior colleges, theological seminaries, and teachers colleges, and called attention to the peculiar place of our system of higher education in the …
