Questions, probes, 'activism' Religion 1969 Student sentiments: Everything's changing . . . ! Understand . . . what? Believe . . . in whom? Authority . . . why? The Religious Education department of St. Paul concentrates efforts on effecting student activism in formulating Christian convictions. Researching Old Testament views on yesterday's dilemmas and investigating today's upheavals in Hi- Times, freshmen reach out to begin piecing together the spiritual puzzle of self-identity and maturity. Soph- omores and juniors take hold on this foundation and further jiggle the puzzle parts into place through their analysis of New Testament guidelines and Church History. Seniors fit more key parts into the jigsaw through discussion and evaluation of authority, con- science, and Pope Paul's encyclical, Humanae Vitae. The Bible, Man in the Modern World, or other texts don't pretend to answer questions of nuclear war, crime, discrimination, or birth control, but they do pre- sent human ideas and directions for application today. With the help of mass media, thinking, feeling, encoutering Paulites come to realize that living means understanding, believing in, and experiencing the full- ness of every activity from the battle with the books to psychedelic social happenings .
