Educating Christians

Back in 2002 Jenny Brecknell presented a position paper to the Queensland Synod Ministerial Education Board, outlining what was happening in lay education in the Uniting Church in Queensland.

Jenny refers to four surveys:

1. Philip Hughes and John Emmett:
MAKING DISCIPLES: A survey of Christian education in UCA congregations.
Uniting Church Press, Melbourne. 2000.

2. Rigby & Associates, Management Consultants:
UNITING CHURCH IN QUEENSLAND: Lay Education Survey Report. May 1999.

3. The Queensland Catholic Education Commission:
The Brisbane College of Theology:
The Decline in Enrolments, Possible Reasons
Underlying the decline and Actions that might Assist in Reversing the Decline:
A survey of the Views of Past and Present Students. June 2001.

4. Ruth Horton Centre surveyed Queensland presbyteries on the subject of lay education in 2001.

Jenny’s report is available on the MEB website in html and pdf format.
