Recenzii

Worsley's book makes me wish I had been at The Watson Symposium in 2011, joining in celebrating and reflecting on the 200 years of the Anglican church's investment in Christian education in the UK. Worsley provides the reader with a rich collection of essays that include historical research, reflections on contemporary theory and practice, and critical issues for the future of the church's investment in schooling children and youth. The book raises important issues, not only for Anglican church schools, but for all Christian school leaders around the world. I found it both informative and challenging, and I am grateful for the work of the scholars and editors who produced it.
At last a work of real significance that fills what has long been a serious gap in the literature. Drawing upon a star cast of writers in the field, who have breadth and depth of experience of - and ensuing wisdom about - Anglican education in the UK, these essays effectively bring out how important the contribution made by Anglican schools has been for our country and how constructive this promises to be for the future, despite the very real challenges to be faced. Providing a blend of historical background and contemporary contextual information, clear analysis of key issues, voices on the ground and research-based insights into realities, a fascinating picture emerges about these schools - where they have come from, what they are for, and how they need to move forward. Of especial value - for many different types of reader - are the questions raised at the end of each chapter. A very helpful tool for teachers and headteachers, parents and governors, clergy and chaplains, students and academics.
This volume provides an excellent collection of scholarly writing and empirical research findings about Anglican Church School education. We need more studies of this quality to support the future of faith-based schooling in the face of polemical attacks by aggressive secularist critics.
[T]his book will provide us with a valuable tool to enliven, equip, empower, and embed a truly Christian approach to education for the common good within our respective spheres of influence.
