The Classical Education Movement and Lutheran Schools
Increasing numbers of Lutheran schools are embracing the classical model of education, the authors report, finding in it a model for increasing students’ engagement and achievement. Veith and Ankerberg present an historical overview of the principals of classical education, noting its compatibility with traditional Lutheran principals of schooling and tracing its recent reincarnation in Lutheran schools. by Gene Edward Veith, Jr. and Erik Ankerberg
Scholarship, Teaching, and Practice: Reflections on Lutheran Identity
In the struggle to define institutional identity, Morgan reminds us, we must not restrict ourselves to examining creedal documents and mission statements. We must also focus with great interest on the material practices of daily and ceremonial life: the rituals and ceremonies we observe, the buildings we worship and work in, the daily tasks we perform, the food we eat. “The point of Lutheranism,” he concludes, “is not to let people know you are a Lutheran, but that you seek to live a life that honors the biblical witness to grace and truth.” by David Morgan
