- To initiate a pupil into
mathematics, science
and history is to bring
him into contact with
the Divine Purpose as
revealed in the world.

initiation into all the forms

is one of those forms,

of necessity.

improvement of understanding.

empirical matters and seeks
to give an understanding of
how they came to be as they are.
Comparative religious studies
both on intellectual and social
grounds.

11. Religious Education
The way of commitment
– religious education aimed
at securing commitment runs
very close to indoctrination,
the teaching of uncheckable
propositions by authority.

12. Religious Education
- The teacher could try to developed in
the child a religious consciousness, by
getting him/her to understand how life
looked to, say the Hebrew prophets, to
Jesus, to St. Francis, to Buddha or to
Mohammed.

13. Religious Education
- This would help to provide
perspectives on the world which
would be necessary before anyone
could really be in a position to choose
to commit him/herself, or not to any
particular religion.
