| Summary: | IS IT NECESSARY or even possible to design educational organisation after a distinctly Christian pattern? How Christian an organisation is surely depends on more than attaching the label ‘Christian’ or even the carrying out of a Christian mission. There is perhaps an unspoken assumption by Christians that when they organise to carry out a Christian purpose, they will inevitably do so in a Christian way. Ultimately, all Christian organisations have an educating agenda of some sort, ranging from formal school education to a multiplicity of other educating activities. But is a Christian oganisational framework innately present in the carrying out of a Christian educational purpose? This paper explores these issues through several metaphorical perspectives on organisations and seeks to identify some elements of a useable organisational framework for Christian schools. |
