HOW A SMALL CHURCH CAN HAVE GOOD CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

by Virgil E. Foster ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 25, 1956

The 'title of this book accurately describes its contents. It is a handbook which points out the need for the best in Christian education everywhere and spells out the way a one, two, or three room church may meet these needs to best advantage. Sometimes, the author reminds us, the small church has resources in close human relationships denied a larger church and since much in religion is caught, rather than taught, there should not be too much lament that the best in modern equipment and a room for every class and age group is not available. Still, it is always possible to put to maximum and more efficient use the limited space that is available, and Mr. Foster proceeds to show how this may be done. This should be a most useful book to those who are concerned with religious education in a small church, and there are many such churches. The author, now Editor of the International Journal of Religious Education was formerly the Director of Religious Education for the Congregational Theological Conference of Iowa. Here there were many small churches whose need and opportunity inspired him to write this book.
