i What is Religious Knowledge?

(B. B. Castle 1n Th8

The concern for Christian educa- tion i‘ m, child of fur and shame -teitr of trliimlihal" 0112111118111 and shame of Christian failure- But the response 1s being made; a response which ls important. Bl- tlwtigit satisfying. The Times has opened 1L1 columns t0 WBlllhlY correspondence on moral renrma- ment; manffestoes by Church lead- ers on the social relations of man- kind are followed by conferences of Christian people concerned to rebuild society arid bring relllflﬂﬂ to the common man; enlightened syllabuses of Scripture teachlnz have been prepared by progressive local authorities; 224 Members of Parliament have dee-ared for “a. prevadtng spiritual 11111120116‘; wtrch shall permeate the whole range of education and far bevontllt." If these words carry their full mesm- tng a very big and unusual thzng has happened 1n England.

But what 1s religious knowledge? It is first a knowledge of the ria- ture of God and the nature of man. But for Christians the definition has to be extended: it ts ‘(nor/ledge of the nature of God and the nature of man as expressed tn the life and death of Jesus. But Ls even more than that, It Ls a. knowledge of ourselves tn relation to the nature of God and the teaching of Jesus. Ttvs means that: it is also a knowledge of ourselves ln rela- tion to our neighbour; an unreriiit- ting consciousness of our relation to man through God n11 to God‘ through man; the realisation that we have not understood God or the nature of God until we have ex- pressed ft tn action on behalf of our nelghbour with Imaginative sincerity and selflessness. Religious knowledge 1s not, knowing only; it 1s also being and doing. It comes of devotional experience when this is 1n unity with social experience; 1t. 1s aknowledge of the relationship between the highest inward ex- perience of divine love and its highest outward expression among 111911.

'Il‘ls unity between personal religion and the social content of Chest-faulty must be a vital part of ugly attempt to impart religious k o ledge. Without 1t anv attempt to produce Christian character and the Christian citizen will fall. The qualities we associate with Chris- tian character surely are these: Faith tn the Creator Spirit, God, and a lively consciousness of the contemporary presence of Christ, alive today as 1n his first revelation 2,000 years ago; discipline to truth tn whatever form 1t may be reveal- ed; willingness to submit to the leadlngs of conscience uteri test- ed by Christian standards; satisf- tlveness to social obllgatlon; rever- ence for men of every race and colour as part of the great family of God; an timer lntertrrlty of spirit which gives serefhtv of nttntl in the midst: of hurry and exclte- , ment; courage to co-opertite byl 800d means for all good ends.- Somethlng 11l€€“tti1s 1s the 111m of religious knowledge.

LIFE ITSELF It 1s clear, then, that we cannot teach religious knowledge 1n the usual way, because it. ls not, a “subject" but life itself, Those, therefore, who want to see more adequate arrangements for the lnculcatfon of such knowledge must be clear about the kind of life for whitli they wish to prepare the pupil. This requires us to have a phlosophy of education which Ls related to our idea of a Christian community; for 1t must not be forgotten that education takes place 1n an essentially social set- ting. We must see education ti; a. means of attirnlng throughout the nation an integrated Christian ctr]. ture; a means of developing a Cfimllllllllly-Sense which has for its purpose the fullest expression of the "brfsthm way of l'fe. For we can no longer teach Christian principles without declaring what lilWY mean 1n terms not only of personal devotion but also of com- munlty-llfe. In the ancient phrase of our Master we have. Indeed, to seek first the Kingdom of God, realizing at the same time its es-

means that the pupil must be made aware that these high things he L; learning are related to a nigh puf- pose. But it. 1a vital to the process that he should also be aware that his teachers, and still more those who organize the social structure 1n which he lives. are llso conscious of this high purpose.

Thls requires that those who ap- peal for a pervading spiritual 1n- fluence which shall permentg the Whole Pﬂﬂle of education and tar beyond 1t" shall realize that their

elm will not be attained by changes 1n syllabus, teachers‘ training ai-iq primary-school time-tables, but, only 1n a cultural, social reltgtu-is venture capabe of creating a. social framework worthy of a Christian people. Imagine the power given to the young teacher, and to the older dfatllustoned teacher, t! he felt himself to be playing bl: part in a. community which was tn very deed ‘ plementtiig those divine prin- ciple; of Christian love and justice which the Board of Educatfon re- qulred him to teach. This power has been dented him, for the edu- cation system of which 13c Ls a. part 1.5 not. even a. reflection of what a Christian community m‘ght be. Today religious knowledge, 1f properly taught. can only be o. cxltctsm of’ things as they are. And yet. 1n none of the social services 15 there greater chance of approxi- mating social structure to Chris- tian requirements than 1n that of education.

RIGHT CONDITIONS

It may be thought that I have strayed far from tlze subject. But I hope I have made ti clear that we have no right, to expect the highest, response from children un- less we respond by crating condl- trons wherein these high things may grow. Can 1t be seriously maintained that the noble appeal of Members of Parliament can have any substantial bearing on the lives of the millions of children vile leave school half-educated at 14.0? When love 1s active among them they will know what love 1s. That. is why Jesus fed the five thousand.

It 1s fortunate that the great truths of religion are simple and can be comprehended by the young Jesus was quite clear on that point. There ls nothing 1n my definition of religious knowledge which cari- not be grasped by children 1f pre- sented fn slmple forms and subse- quently developed as maturity Ep- pronches, and 1f constantly related to tre e-‘tperfeiice of’ the child. The old antiquarian approach to the Hebrew Scriptures has almost kill- ed youthful interest 1n them; and the stress on a oredal basis for Christianity 1n early years has been unhelpful to the acceptance of the New Testament by deprwtng 1t: of relevance to the light of Christ tn children's own hearts and his living Spirit active 1n the world
