Description of this Electronic Book

Today, in the face of great change, Catholic educators need to ask whether there is a gap between the vision of Catholic education handed on through tradition, and the reality of church and school life.This book considers the implications of the Catholic vision of education for the culture and life of the Catholic school. The author argues that to ensure that Catholic school culture preserves its special character, it is essential that the content of its founding tradition is fully integrated with the daily life and activity of the school. The Catholic School, as an ideal, is more than an educational institution - it is a community of faith.
