| Summary: | This article appeared in the very first issue of the Journal of Christian Education (vol. 1, no. 1, pp. 29–44) in June 1958. At that time, Prof. Harold Fallding, U.A., B.Sc. (Sydney), Dip.Ed.(Sydney), Ph.D. (A.N.U.), F.R.S.C., was the Senior Research Fellow (Rural Sociology) in the Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Sydney, Australia. He subsequently held other academic positions in universities in Australia, U.S.A. and Canada; and he is presently Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University of Waterloo, Canada. He is an associate editor of this journal.The article was a revision of a paper presented to, and discussed with, members of the New South Wales Graduate Fellowship of the Inter Varsity Fellowship. The paper made a considerable impact on thinking at that time; and the enduring relevance of the exercise undertaken by Prof. Fallding in this article is reflected in the two contemporary publications reviewed in Round Table in this issue which ask how spiritual development can be effectively promoted within schools when definition of the terms “spiritual” and “spirituality” is often vague. |
