Is There Such a Thing as Anglican Education?

Abstract

In posing the question is there anything that distinguishes Anglican education from other forms of education, this lecture laments the fact that Sydney Anglicans have never seriously addressed the task of developing coherent thought about what constitutes Anglican education. In the absence of clearly defined conversation partners and the institutional arrangements for exploring the issue in depth, the author proposes that, as the contest for the gospel is fought in the realm of ideas, three theological truths must govern this exploration—knowing God, knowing God the Creator, and knowing God the Redeeemer.
