Religion fosters student-teacher relationship The 1967-'68 religion classes at Gabriels have developed in a meaningful manner in which freedom of expression is emphasized. Religion teachers have attempted to instill a sense of christian community within our own classes. Prac- tical application of former religious knowledge is especially encouraged. The familiarization of contemporary problems has brought into focus our exact role in life as a Christian member of a twentieth century society. Several means have been employed in the expressing of these ideas. The use of film-strips and movies has provided the student with an easier-to-understand method of studying pertinent topics. An interpretation of modern records has led the student to a greater comprehension of present-day thinking. Another method of involvement for the student is the practice of group discussion. In addition, team teaching supplies variety in the often-tedius procedure of the classroom. Through these classes, the student learns the importance and necessity of good Christian virtures in the life he leads now and in the future.
