Can Spiritual Education Occur in Public Schools?

Cummins, Paul F.

Paths of Learning: Options for Families & Communities, n12 p9-12 Spr 2002

A complete education must integrate the development of mind, body, and spirit without violating the separation of Church and State. The four main parts of a curriculum for the development of the soul would be the arts, community service, outdoor environmental education, and human development. Other components would be leisure time, space for reflection, ceremony, storytelling, and mysteries. (TD)
