Dean of the Cathedral of St. Philip, Atlanta

T he C hurch and T he C hildren

The process of educating children in the Church occupies the attention of a large corps of lay-workers besides all of the clergy. Many books on child psychology and teaching theory are in circulation today. There are fewer books, however, on the “ how” of teaching by experienced clergy who daily and weekly are working for and with children.

Raimundo de Ovies, Dean of the Cathedral of St. Philip in Atlanta, Georgia, is an expert who has years of actual practice in dealing with children and young people. He is the conductor of the famous “ The Church of the Children” program over one of the radio broadcasting stations in Atlanta, Georgia, each Saturday afternoon at 6 o’clock. The broadcast originates in the Cathedral, and the children carry out the program with the exception of the story which is told by Dean de Ovies.

Drawing from his clinical experiences, his knowledge of and love for children, and from his daily experiences of being among them, Dean de Ovies gives to the Church an exceptional book which in no sense is academic or dogmatic. The emphasis is not on the content of teaching but rather, in the words of the author, “ a suggestive approach to the HOW of teaching what any may consider best to teach.”

The book is divided into three sections. Part one is devoted to the relationship between teacher and pupil, methods of teaching that work, the children’s service, instruction, humor in teaching and how to gain and hold attention. The second and third parts consist, not only of sermons to children and sermonettes for special occasions, but also the Dean’s analyses of the methods of treatment in making the sermons interesting to children, and some of the psychological reasons why they are interesting and effective.

There is a great deal of material help in this book for anyone who has the privilege of teaching children and young people.
