The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of the Roman Catholic bishops, pastors, and future pastors of the United States concerning the (1) value, (2) effectiveness, (3) funding practices, and (4) future structure of Catholic schools in the United States. The data for the study were generated from completed questionnaires returned by 80.2 percent of the population of 273 bishops and 52.4 percent of the sample of 660 priests representing the population of 37,572 priests in parish ministry. The questionnaire was modified from one developed by Eugene P. Sullivan of Boston, Massachusetts. Statistical analysis included a frequency distribution analysis of each item, plus a Spearman rho correlation coefficient. A chi-square treatment tested the statistical significance between the expected and observed frequencies. The study accepted a level of significance of .05. Among the findings were the following: (1) A large majority of bishops and priests saw Catholic schools as having a value sufficient to justify their continued existence. (2) They saw Catholic schools as playing an essential role in the church's mission. (3) They saw Catholic schools as academically better than the local governmental schools. (4) They agreed that Catholic schools have a positive impact on the adult religious behavior of their students. (5) They thought the schools make effective use of the church's resources, but use too much of them. (6) They thought that each parish should continue to finance its own school and that the financial support was the responsibility of the whole church. (7) They did not think that parish religious education programs should replace schools. (8) There was less agreement among bishops and priests on financial matters connected with the schools. The recommendations included the suggestion that programs be developed to help priests work with Catholic schools, that a study of regional schools be conducted, that seminaries offer information to seminary students concerning Catholic schools, that the bishops fund an indepth study of religious education programs outside of schools to find an effective alternative to current programs, and that the bishops study the question of funding for Catholic schools. / Ed.

Text in English / Since its inception in 1833 the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in South Africa has been a missionary church and has always had its own missionary work. It started to organise the Christianization, Evangelization and Westernization endeavours to take place inside the territories of South Africa. The Evangelical Presbyterian Church Missionaries founded, financed, maintained, controlled and administered their educational endeavours without any moral or financial support from the Government. The main purpose of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church Missionaries in founding and supporting schools has been to use education as an auxiliary to the evangelization of the indigenous people of South Africa. Elementary schools served as instruments of direct evangelization rather than secular education. Pupils were taught the 3 R's, namely, reading, writing and arithmetic. Education was a useful tool that enabled the converts to read the Bible and other religious material on their own and preferably in their own language. Converts who demonstrated the ability to read, write and do simple arithmetic were trained to become missionaries' helpers. As these earliest converts became proficient and competent, they were posted out into the interior with the instructions to start new church centres and schools. Although the teaching which took place inside these schools was not of high quality, it was definitely better than nothing. The Evangelical Presbyterian Church Missionaries together with missionaries of other denominations provided virtually all the education which was available for the Blacks in South Africa. Through missionary endeavours the South African Government have realized that Western education and civilization has been important forces which helped the indigenous people to advance individually and collectively in the social, political and economic fields. Western technology and culture successfully won the indigenous people of South Africa to Western civilization. The acceptance of Christianity and the introduction of the White man's rule in the interior of South Africa effectively stopped the inter-tribal wars. The missionaries have made a noteworthy contribution to the education of the indigenous people of South Africa. They empowered the Blacks to play a worthy part side by side with members of other races (Whites, Coloureds and Indians) in the development of the country they shared. / Educational Studies / D.Ed.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Christiane Grace Guimarães da Silva.pdf: 1884302 bytes, checksum: 65e4d267b07f849e9df83782f1821f2f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-06-27 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Idealized by the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, the periodical ―Woman‟s Missionary Advocate‖, published monthly in the United States and without any interruptions between 1880 and 1910, used to receive information from the missionaries who reported their experiences in several parts of the world, including Brazil. Its first number was started in July, 1880 with 16 pages and its last edition was published in December, 1910 with 47 pages. The newspaper based on the saying ―from woman to woman‖ was totally managed by women and supported by annual subscriptions. Besides the actions of the missions in the educational field, it published, in full, the annual meetings of the Woman‘s Board of Foreign Mission and the several missionary activities accomplished in the mission fields. In the end of XIX century, several societies were organized with the purpose of becoming the activity of expanding Methodism more efficient and structured. Even the movement being led by men and considering the missionaries were married and their wives were consequently equally involved in this project, the scenario changes after the increase of the Woman's Missionary Societies that became an objective of great benefit at Church to take different positions and tasks, mainly in the establishment of schools. The purpose of this research is to study the North-American Methodist Missionary Movement in Brazil, in reference of the educational aspect, based on the woman's involvement. Through analysis procedures based on the Cultural History perspective, it is supported in the studies of Roger Chartier about practical notions and representations, and of Michel de Certeau in the distinction of the categories called tactics and strategies, in the study of the cultural practices. The Woman‟s Missionary Advocate, a diffusing newspaper about the Methodist missionary movement, especially with regard to the school education, was a privileged place of dissemination and defense of the Methodist missionary ideals in a historicity that highlights the women's role. Through its study was possible to defend the theses about the female protagonism in the Methodist missionary movement in Brazil, showing the women's effective involvement more than the direct action at schools / Idealizado pela Sociedade Missionária Estrangeira da Mulher da Igreja Metodista Episcopal do Sul, o periódico Woman‟s Missionary Advocate, publicado nos Estados Unidos mensalmente e sem interrupções entre 1880 e 1910, recebia informações das missionárias que relatavam suas experiências em diversas partes do mundo, inclusive do Brasil. Iniciando seu primeiro número em junho de 1880 com 16 páginas e tendo sua última edição publicada em dezembro de 1910 com 47 páginas, o periódico, baseado na máxima ―da mulher para a mulher‖, era dirigido integralmente por mulheres e mantido com assinaturas anuais. Divulgava, além das ações das missões no campo educacional, a íntegra das reuniões anuais do Conselho Missionário Estrangeiro da Mulher e as diversas atividades missionárias realizadas nos campos de missão. No final do século XIX, diversas sociedades foram organizadas com o objetivo de tornar mais eficiente e estruturada a atividade de expansão do metodismo. Mesmo que o movimento fosse liderado por homens, considerando que os missionários eram casados e suas esposas, por consequência, estavam igualmente envolvidas nesse projeto, o cenário muda após o incremento das Sociedades Missionárias Femininas, que se tornaram um alvo de grande interesse na Igreja para ocupar diferentes posições e trabalhos, especialmente na fundação das escolas. Esta pesquisa se propõe a examinar o movimento missionário metodista norte-americano no Brasil, no que tange seu aspecto educacional, tomando como base a participação da mulher. Com procedimentos de análise baseados na perspectiva da História Cultural, ampara-se nos estudos de Roger Chartier sobre noções de práticas e representações, e de Michel de Certeau na distinção das categorias denominadas como táticas e estratégias, no estudo das práticas culturais. O Woman‟s Missionary Advocate, como um periódico difusor do movimento missionário metodista, especialmente no que concerne à educação escolar, foi um espaço privilegiado de divulgação e defesa dos ideais missionários metodistas dentro de uma historicidade que destaca o papel da mulher. Seu estudo permitiu defender a tese do protagonismo feminino no movimento missionário metodista no Brasil, mostrando a participação efetiva das mulheres para além da atuação direta nas escolas

The Christian church was begun in 19Ih century in the traditionally multi-religious society in Korea. Christianity holds a major position in Korea today and has for the past 20 years been growing rapidly in numbers. Despite its phenomenal growth, the churches. and Christianity in general, have been suffering from several ailments, of which dualistic thinking is not the least. Anthropological dualism amounts to not only distinguishing between soul and body, but also ascribing a separate and independent existence to each of these "components" of the human being. This dualism (as well as others) developed in the church under the influence of traditional Korean religions such as Buddhism, Confucianism and Shamanism that have been teaching such dualisms. The Korean Christian mindset has to this day been dualistic both as a result of such cultural and philosophical influences and o€ ideas brought by the early missionaries to Korea. The influence of Platonic dualism is still widespread in the conservative and gospel church. This study focuses on: + examining the nature of the problem of anthropological (and other forms of) dualism + how the problem has been manifesting itself in Korean churches and in church education + the most momentous influences on Korean Christianity and churches resulting in a dualistic mindset regarding life in general and the human being in particular + the impact of anthropological dualism on church life and especially on education in the context of the church + the Biblical view of the human being, and on + how the pervasive problem of anthropological dualism can be eradicated. It was found that, although the Bible uses a whole variety of words that somehow relate to or describe the human being, these words or t e n s do not refer to "parts" or "components" but rather to different facets of the human being, much like one can refer to the different facets of a polished diamond. Whenever a word is used, it refers to a particular perspective from which the human being is approached or viewed but in the final analysis, it refers to the whole being. Discovery of this perspective was important in view of the dualistic tendencies in Korean churches and in church education. Application of a holistic view of the human being enables one to approach education as the guiding, leading, enabling, equipping and discipling of educands (those who are being guided etc.) as whole, total and integrated persons. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Education))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2007.
