CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
Ministers To
Go To Talks
Two Christchurch Presbyterian ministers will attend a five-day conference in Melbourne to consider an interdenominational curriculum for Christian Education in New Zealand and Australia. The conference will begin on Monday.
The Rev. D. White, director of Christian Education for the Presbyterian Church in New Zealand, who will attend with the Rev. D C. Boyd, said that the conference would be another step towards the adoption of the curriculum by the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational churches of Australia and New Zealand in 1970.
In many ways the churches were closer together in education than in other spheres, and it was interesting that the development of a common curriculum was coming at the same time that the churches were involved in a general movement towards each other, Mr White said. Christian education involved people of all ages, not only children, he said. There was need now for a reexamination of the whole sphere with priority for adult education.
