t
Religion Classes Take On New Role
By Frances Farrell Vitulli
Remember the days
when you and I were in
school and religion was
simply another subject, usually
easier than most, and always
relegated to its own little aca-
demic pigeonhole?
Well, those days are fast
drawing to a close.
For Rev. Vincent M. No.
yak, S.J., it is something of
a personal crusade to bring
to today's Catholic youngsters
a fresh approach to their re-
ligion, to make it challenging
and to make it an integrated
part of their lives.
Father Novak, chairman of
the Department of Religious
Education at Fordham Univer-
sity, is just completing a three-
day institute on the training of
elementary and s e c o n d a r y
school religion teachers held at
Seattle University.
The institute was aimed at
both teachers in Catholic
schools and those giving Con. :iii: ::!i'i!:i:!i!: i ii::::i:'''::::::?i!!: i!:!ii!!'i?
fraternity of Christian Doctrine :iii:: :
instruction.
"Although my t a I k s .are
aimed primarily at the Cath-"
olie school teacher, anything
pertinent to him would cer-
tainly be worthwhile to the
CCD teacher," Father era-
phasized.
The author of two texts in the
series "Jesus Christ, Lord of
History," Father Novak based
his talks on these books.
Now in use in Seattle Prep
freshman and sophomore class-
es, the series tells the story of
God's love and man's response,
not as an appendage to a stand-
ard history course, but as the
Word of life that calls to every
person asking a response with
the active faith of a committed
Christian.
Perhaps the key words in FATHER NOVAK
that last paragraph are "re-
sponse," "active" and "Chris- Father Novak's plan of re-
Siam"- they are the crux of ligious instruction.
Similar in approach to the
Christian Culture Series which
ran last year in The Progress,
Father Nov ak sees his ap-
proach in a four-fold aspect--
biblical, liturgical, d o c t r i n a l
and that of the living witness.
His texts blend these four
forms of revelation into a syn-
thesis of the Christian message.
"The supreme selfishness is
that old philosophy that I
learn my religion to save my
soul, period," Father smiled.
"It's that, of course, but it's
much more--it's a person's
response to his faith and the
role he plays in everyday life
with regard to his fellow
man. t'
Father sees this new phase
of religious education as a
"growth in the Church which
goes along with the many oth-
er movements now prevalent
within the Church."
For the past five years the
Fordham educator has piG-
neered a new religion program
for Catholic high schools at the
Fordham University Prepare.
tory School.
At the present Seattle Prep
is one of some 100 high
schools beginning their sec-
ond year of study with Fa-
ther Novak's texts. There are
about 30 schools in their third
year and perhaps 12 begin-
ning their senior year of the
series. These schools include
co-educational, co-instruction-
al as well as all-boys or all-
girls schools.
For Father Novak the re-
action to the new course has
been gratifying.
"We are constantly compiling
questionnaires to aid our re-
search--we ask the boys and
girls their evaluation of the
course and the reaction has
been wonderful. They feel their
religion classes can now relate
to their everyday lives. This is
what we want."
