TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss mediaeval education in terms of clerical education on the one hand, and of lay education in this context they are one, and what was taught can roughly be summed up as faith, morals, and knowledge of the Church's law.
Abstract: Provincial and diocesan legislation provided a coherent system of religious education at a time when opportunities for study were few. It is true that in content little was new, but there was much in the way of reiteration, development and expansion, with particular attention to the practical details of implementation. Mediaeval education is often discussed in terms of clerical education on the one hand, and of lay education on the other. In this context they are one. The priest had first to learn before he could teach, and what was taught can roughly be summed up as faith, morals, and knowledge of the Church’s law. It remains true that some things were more appropriate for the clerical than the lay ear.

TL;DR: A survey carried out in 1963 of second-year sixth formers from a random sample of 96 maintained grammar schools in England was replicated in 1970 as mentioned in this paper, showing a marked decline in favourable attitudes towards religious education and in the importance of the Bible for these subjects.
Abstract: Summary. A survey carried out in 1963 of second-year sixth formers from a random sample of 96 maintained grammar schools in England was replicated in 1970. The results show a marked decline in favourable attitudes towards religious education and in the importance of the Bible for these subjects. There was evidence of greater change among girls than among boys.

TL;DR: The importance of religion in the literature curriculum has been discussed in this paper, with a focus on the Bible and its role in the curriculum of modern and traditional literature, as well as on the sacred writings of the world's religions.
Abstract: IF THINGS are important in in verse ratio to the ease with which they may be defined, religion must be very im portant indeed; for no one can define it in a way acceptable to everyone. This may be seen as a bit of a handicap to those pro posing to study religion, whatever it is. Importance aside, it is only recently— since the 1963 Supreme Court ruling on de votional Bible reading—that the schools have become sure of the propriety of the study of religion in public institutions. Since then such study has dramatically increased, the lack of definition being reflected in the variety of the projects. In the light of the success of these projects, it now seems absurd that religion was so neglected for so long. Of course, the importance of religion does not hinge on its definition. Religion has significantly influenced man's history and literature. One does not have to be a Toynbee to recognize the pervasive influence, for good and for bad, of religion in history. The same is true in literature: not only does a good deal of modern and traditional literature deal with religious themes ("Religion and Literature"), not only does literature use the Bible ("Bible and Literature"), but also much of the sacred writings of the world's religions has literary merit itself ("Religious Literature"). Other approaches could be differenti ated, but these three represent the basic ways religion affects the literature curriculum. Most current projects are limited to the latter two, and of these most deal with the Bible. The projects discussed in this article repre sent only a sampling of the activities under way. More information on these, and a host of others, is available from the Religious In struction Association, a clearinghouse on methods and materials for the study of re ligion in public education (P. O. Box 533, Fort Wayne, Ind. 46801).

TL;DR: The volume of literature on the Kirchenkampf is expanding at an accelerating rate as mentioned in this paper and several bibliographical articles have already appeared, the most recent of which is by the Canadian scholar, John S. Conway.
Abstract: The volume of literature on the Kirchenkampf is expanding at an accelerating rate. Several bibliographical articles have already appeared, the most recent of which is by the Canadian scholar, John S. Conway. Of the 63 titles of books, articles, and collections discussed by Conway, 47 were published in the 1960s. Nearly all studies of the Kirchenkampf either defend or criticize the church in varying degrees. Most of the older accounts, as Conway points out in the introduction to his own comprehensive study, were written by clergymen and historians who actually participated in the Kirchenkampf . These scholars selected those facts which demonstrated that the church steadfastly, if not always effectually, opposed National Socialist tyranny in word and deed. The larger volume of Protestant works emphasized the activity of the Confessing Church, while the unaccountably smaller number of Roman Catholic accounts focused upon particular bishops and priests who protested courageously and suffered imprisonment or martyrdom. During the past ten years, however, a small group of mostly younger historians have published works sharply critical of the Roman Catholic Church in particular. These historians, the most prominent of whom are Gordon Zahn, Hans Muller, and Guenter Lewy, assert that the Roman Catholic Church failed to exert the kind of moral and political leadership which might have mitigated the horrors of National Socialism.

TL;DR: In this article, the opinions of faculty in Catholic colleges and universities towards both the religious and the professional value dimension-the identity criis-of Catholic higher education were ascertained from 551 faculty in universities and men's, women's, and coeducational liberal arts colleges.
Abstract: This study ascertains the opinions of faculty in Catholic colleges and universities towards both the religious and the professional value dimension-the identity criis-of Catholic higher education. Responses from 551 faculty in universities and men's, women's, and coeducational liberal arts colleges permitted analysis of variance tests by institutional type, academic rank, field of study, status (religious/lay), age, sex, and educational socialization. The instrument provided data for testing hypotheses on the Identity Issue, a Catholic Character Issue, and on two indicesCatholic Environment and Professional Ideology. Statistically significant differences exist among almost all faculty subgroups with respect to their acceptance of the values associated with the professional ideology as this acceptance is affected by the religious dimension of Catholic higher education. It appears that for most Catholic colleges and faculty, pressures are such that their future direction seems inevitably to lead towards the non-sectarian independent college and university model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the primary goals of a church library should be that of strengthening the Christian education program of the church and a library should not be more than a depository of books from which church members occasionally check out certain titles.
Abstract: EDRS Price MF-$0.65 HC-$6.58 *Audiovisual Aids, *Christianity, Church Programs, Information Needs, Library Programs, *Library Reference Services, *Religious Education, *Special Libraries *Church Libraries The church today faces the alternative of advancing to meet the problems of the 70s or regressing into the past. Christian young people are demanding up-to-date answers to up-to-date problems. The church is being squeezed by cultural pressures and bombarded by the knowledge explosion. This book is designed to help the church that has no library but wishes to get one started, as well as to encourage the struggling church library. One of the primary goals of a church library should be that of strengthening the Christian education program of the church and a church library should be more than a depository of books from which church members occasionally check out certain titles. The church library must be an educational resource center to which teachers and other church leaders look for assistance. Visual aids, audio-visual equipment, and reference sources are an important part of the church library. Just as the quality of a college is measured by its library, so the quality of the educational program of the church may be gauged by its library.
