For which competences?
We well understand that teachers in Catholic education do not unanimously
profess the Christian faith. The teaching staffs in Catholic education have
become, de facto, pluralist for what
concerns conviction. This situation of pluralism is not a threat for
Catholic education identity. It even can be a feature of its catholicity but on
two conditions: All teachers must accept to take part in the school project as
far as it is inspired by the Gospel values and also accept the Catholic school
to be a place for proposing the Christian faith in a way that respects the
pupils’ intelligence and freedom.
There must be a significant number of teachers who
explicitly live and express their Christian faith within the Catholic
school. The perspectives of Christian
formation that I would like to propose not only concern the Christian teachers
but the whole teaching staff of which I just underlined the pluralism. Because
the question of the understanding of the
Christian faith and the practices it inspires in school and society concern all
those who are
involved in Catholic schools. The
proposals of formation I will
make can thus be understood in two ways: either for
Christian teachers who want to deepen, in theory and practice, their adhesion
to the Christian faith, or for other teachers who want to acquire a better
knowledge of what Christianism announces and proposes to live, so that they
could better situate themselves in relation to the Christian faith, approach it
and even appropriate it.......
