Comment

Supporting Christians in Education is a practical tool for Church Leaders and Youth-workers to help them to envision and resource teachers, pupils, parents and governors. No other single context involves so many of us, and this highly readable but insightful book lays out a compelling vision for Christian involvement and mission in education.

A Teacher's Prayer by James J Metcalf asks that the children in the care of the teacher will not simply learn academic lessons, but that the teacher may help them learn life lessons.

"Not just the lesson in a book,
Or how the rivers flow,
But to choose the proper path,
Wherever they may go."

Comment

Teaching is an honourable profession, and deserves recognition as such. But Christians, and others, often call it a vocation. Dr Rowan Williams, then Archbishop of Wales, wrote on the subject of vocation in 2001. The article is published as an appendix to Lord Dearing's report on Church schools.
