Adds New Subjects Christian Education has been defined by Drees: A. Witmer as ‘‘The Bible-based, Christ-centered process of, first, leading persons into a transform- ing experience of Truth, ever maturing into the fullness of Christ; and second, of equipping them by fundamental knowledge, attitudes, and skills to render effective service in the will of God.” This department is not an island in itself but relies on other departments such as Bible and theology to give the student a good foundation for his studies—a knowledge of the Word of God. It also relies on the department of missions, evangelism, and music to give the student special- ized knowledge for these areas of service. Steve Edwards, a Christian Education major felt that “Christian Education is involved in every aspect of the church program even though it is not al- ways recognized as Christian Education per se.” Under this year’s curriculum a Christian Edu- cation major was required to take twenty-nine semester hours of Christian Education. The following were new subjects offered in the depart- ment this year: Principles and Methods of Teach- ing, The Educational Work of the Church, Organization and Administration, Supervised Leadership Training, Counseling, Camping, and ‘Curriculum.
