This International Handbook presents the research and professional
practice of scholars who are daily engaged in the consideration of
these dimensions in education. The result is a collection of essays
which reflects the discipline, in all of its internationality, as
it as today. Embedded within the chapters is also an agenda for the
future, where the religious, moral and spiritual dimensions in
education are proposed as an exciting and challenging way forward
for educators at all levels in society. As well, it offers a vision
for the emergence of a peaceful and just world.
During the first decade of the 21st century the Catholic Church in
the developed world has faced a decline in its moral authority,
increasing accusations of irrelevance to a secular age, and a steep
and steady decline in commitment among successive generations from
the 1960s on. Despite this Catholic schools have multiplied and
grown in popularity and educational achievement. The book sets out
a programme for the contribution of Catholic schools to the future
of the Church, covering such topics as the religious education
curriculum in its cognitive and affective aspects, the sacramental
life of the school, selection of staff, the issue of staff and
Catholic witness and many other topics. Engebretson argues that
Catholic schools are a powerful key to the future of the Church and
shows how, within their diversity, Catholic schools can be
ecclesial communities, which have at their heart the building up of
the Church.
