May ours be a religion which, like sunshine, goes everywhere;
its temple, all space; its shrine, the good heart;
its creed, all truth; its ritual, works of love;
its profession of faith, divine living.
--- Theodore Parker
Religious Education Philosophy
At All Souls Church we believe that spiritual learning is a life long process. Our earliest ideas about the world are formed in the experiences that we have as very young children. Throughout the developmental stages of childhood we have many opportunities to widen and enrich our understanding. Even as adults the learning does not stop.
A religious education program helps children in their spiritual development in several ways.
-- At All Souls Church we seek to expose our children to diverse religious and cultural expressions as well as to historical perspectives on the great questions that have been asked throughout human history.
-- At All Souls Church we seek to provide a safe and secure environment that encourages children to ask questions and to develop confidence in their ability to find answers.
-- At All Souls Church we strive to include our children in the whole life of the congregation so that they can see the lessons of the classroom unfold in real life.
We encourage you to be involved in the religious education program. Many of our adults have found some of the richest and most rewarding experiences at All Souls have come when they have involved themselves in the continuing development of our children.
