Teaching Religion In Schools
Sir, —I conclude that “Concerned” (May 30) is unaware of the nature of the “agreed syllabus” published by the Council for Christian Education. ,1 am sure that his fears would be modified if he would examine the syllabus and tihe handbooks associated with it, and would also appreciate what is meant by an “agreed” syllabus. The historic churches have come much more closely together than the writer appears to know. The agreed syllabus, the handbooks and the activity books can be purchased at booksellers. The churches have never evaded the fact that their task is difficult. Indeed, that is why special consideration is given to the training of voluntary teachers, the accrediting of approved voluntary teachers and the council’s wish to secure the assistance of qualified and able Christian teachers.—Yours, etc., J. D. GROCOTT,
Chairman, Canterbury District Committee. Council for Christian Education. June 7, 1963.
