My observation agrees with the author. My own theological education is very weak even after attending church regularly for 20 years. Why is this...How important it is depends upon the development not only of the mind through the educational process of ideas, but the spiritual input of God's truths within our being to become a part of who we are and not just a list of proper theological doctrines.

A good example is my parents who recently attended a "sunday school" class entitled <EM>Theology 101</EM>, sounds great until you realize that they have both been active in the Church for the past 25 years. (Though I’m sure they could argue the finer nuances of the failure of darwinism against creationism, and they have a healthy repository of  apologetics cheat sheets).  But where is the discussion of church history, creeds, or the reformation?  What about modern day heroes like Deitrich Bonhoeffer or Martin Luther King Jr.? What about even basic textual criticism like a synoptics study? If Christian education is so important for individuals leading the church, why wouldn’t it also be important for everyone else called to practice living the Christian faith?</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/911CE91E-60F5-493F-86FB-46F085DF0A8A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
