Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious Education of an American Citizen The purpose of this series of loosely connected chapters is to call attention to some of the influences which direct, and some of the qualities which mark, the religious education of an American citizen. The normal life of an American proceeds from childhood to youth and from youth to manhood, through the shifting environments of home, school, college, business, citizenship and Church; and at each step he is met by conditions and demands which may either promote or obstruct his religious education. What, then, are the circumstances which are likely to be most favorable for a healthy-minded and progressive religious experience? What can be done by parents, teachers, employers, statesman, or pastors, to reinforce American citizenship with a rational religious life? What are the special obstacles which American civilization offers to religious progress? What are the traits of the American character on which teachers of religion may most confidently depend?

That is what the As sociation is for. It earnestly tries to stand for Freedom and Fellowship in Religion: its objects, as stated in its Constitution, being to promote the practical interests of pure religion, to increase fellowship in the spirit, and to encourage the scientific study of man's religious nature and history; and to this end all persons interested in these oh jects are cordially invited to its membership. One of the subjects selected for this winter was the ques tion on which Roman Catholic citizens are taking ground so generally against their fellow-citizens, - that of the Right and Justice of our long-established Public School System.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Citizens in Training: A Manual of Christian Citizenship The millions of Christian Endeavorers in the world are in dead earnest - in live earnest, rather - on the great question of Christian citizenship. They are determined that saloon-keepers, the illiterate, the criminal, the corrupt and corrupting ward politician, shall no longer rule our fair cities or dominate our mighty nations. Scores of campaigns for the betterment of city life, through the reform of political abuses or the reform of individual men, have been carried on during the past few years by our ardent Endeavorers. And yet only a beginning has been made. The government of Americas cities is Americas shame. If our great municipalities are to be redeemed within a generation from the foul hands into which they have fallen, the work must be done by the present Christian Endeavor host and their friends. Who will pretend to say that conscience has anything to do with the politics of any of our great cities? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Education in America: A Lecture Brethren: Your hearts are filled with joy to-day because years of faithful and generous labor have at last been crowned by the dedication of this beautiful church to the service of Almighty God. But in your joy I am sure you do not lose sight of the fact that during those years of endeavor and of hope our dear Lord and His adoring flock found welcome and fitting shelter in the hall of the parish school-house. Your prudent and zealous pastor, knowing well that "the child is father of the man," and that the way to make a parish of good Christians is to see to the Christian training of the children, erected the school-house before laying a stone of the church; he invited Our Lord and the people of the parish to be for awhile the guests of the children; and it is only after having for years blessed with His Real Presence that home of Christian education that our Divine Saviour has come to occupy this His beautiful dwelling place. Friends, is not this an object-lesson of the relation between religion and education? It is putting in concrete and symbolic form the lesson so frequently inculcated by the word of God, that Our Lord is "the Light of the World," that He is "the true Light which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world," that "God is Light and there is no darkness in Him," that Christians must be "children of the light." It is the will of God that neither ignorance nor stupidity nor error shall rule His people, but the knowledge of the truth, which, He says, is to "make us free," breaking the fetters of ignorance, dispelling the illusions of error, developing and setting free all the powers which our Creator has bestowed on the human intelligence for His creatures' good.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religious Education and American Democracy President Wilson says we must make the world safe for democracy. The safety of democracy demands intelligence and godliness. The present world war will have been waged in vain if it hands democracy over to an ignorant and godless people. A democratic people must be able to think clearly and act righteously. The world will never be safe for democracy until intelligence and godliness are the common possessions of the whole human race. Democracies must learn how to make secular and religious education efficient and universal. The first chapter in this volume outlines the great system of public schools which the state is building in order that the masses of the people may have the grade of intelligence demanded for citizenship in a democracy. It also sketches the outline of a system of schools which I believe the church must build if the intelligence of the people is to be coupled with godliness. The succeeding chapters discuss in detail the problems involved in the realization of the proposed system of church schools for the American people.

Download or read book Education for Empire written by Clif Stratton and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Education for Empire examines how American public schools created and placed children on multiple and uneven paths to "good citizenship." These paths offered varying kinds of subordination and degrees of exclusion closely tied to race, national origin, and US imperial ambitions. Public school administrators, teachers, and textbook authors grappled with how to promote and share in the potential benefits of commercial and territorial expansion, and in both territories and states, how to apply colonial forms of governance to the young populations they professed to prepare for varying future citizenships. The book brings together subjects in American history usually treated separately--in particular the formation and expansion of public schools and empire building both at home and abroad. Temporally framed by the 1882 Chinese Exclusion and 1924 National Origins Acts, two pivotal immigration laws deeply entangled in and telling of US quests for empire, case studies in California, Hawaii, Georgia, New York, the Southwest, and Puerto Rico reveal that marginalized people contested, resisted, and blazed alternative paths to citizenship, in effect destabilizing the boundaries that white nationalists, including many public school officials, in the United States and other self-described "white men's countries" worked so hard to create and maintain"--Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Integrated Program of Religious Education People divide on the question whether religion can be taught and what is meant by teaching religion. Our own thought in all that follows construes religion as a way of life and Religious Education as the process by which we teach boys and girls, men and women, to live with and for each other and unto God. We do not hesitate, therefore, to record here unequivocally our conviction that religion can be taught. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book We Hold These Truths written by John Courtney Murray and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2005 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1960 publication of We Hold These Truths marked a significant event in the history of modern American thought. Since that time, Sheed & Ward has kept the book in print and has published several studies of John Courtney Murray's life and work. We are proud to present a new edition of this classic text, which features a comprehensive introduction by Peter Lawler that places Murray in the context of Catholic and American history and thought while revealing his relevance today. From the new Introduction by Peter Lawler: The Jesuit John Courtney Murray (1904-67) was, in his time, probably the best known and most widely respected American Catholic writer on the relationship between Catholic philosophy and theology and his country's political life. The highpoint of his influence was the publication of We Hold These Truths in the same year as an election of our country's first Catholic president. Those two events were celebrated by a Time cover story (December 12, 1960) on Murray's work and influence. The story's author, Protestant Douglas Auchincloss, reported that it was "The most relentlessly intellectual cover story I've done." His amazingly wide ranging and dense--if not altogether accurate--account of Murray's thought was crowned with a smart and pointed conclusion: "If anyone can help U.S. Catholics and their non-Catholic countrymen toward the disagreement that precedes understanding--John Courtney Murray can." . . . Murray's work, of course, is treated with great respect and has had considerable influence, but now it's time to begin to think of him as one of America's very few genuine political philosophers. His disarmingly lucid and accessible prose has caused his book to be widely cited and celebrated, but it still is not well understood. It is both praised and blamed for reconciling Catholic faith with the fundamental premises of American political life. It is praised by liberals for paving the way for Vatican II's embrace of the American idea of religious liberty, and it is
