Description / Abstract
“A Philosophy of Education” presents a snap shot of how theology and Christian education were conceived by the Church of the Nazarene during the mid-twentieth century. The statement “it is imperative that all departments within our schools adjust and articulate their teaching with the accepted doctrine of the Church of the Nazarene and its adopted philosophy of education” is at the very least interesting. The most intriguing phrases are “adjust and articulate” and “accepted doctrine and philosophy of education.” These phrases assume a much more narrow set of parameters for doctrine and education than could exist in our global context today. It is also interesting that the statement adds, “The schools . . . are not to consider their task as narrowly sectarian.” While these two sets of statements originate in the 1952 they clearly reflect a creative tension that exists with the Church of the Nazarene and its educational mission. The same tension is true in the first part of the twenty-first century as well. While our cultural context has changed our mandate to locate ourselves in the tradition and to do so in conversation with culture remains the same.
