r . th e DENI/ER O l l H O L I C THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1972 2 SECTIONS/VOL.REGISTER XLVIll, NO. 13/SERVING THE CATHOLICS OF NORTHERN COLORADO 72 YEARS rhem e is: To Teach as Jesus Did' U.S. Bishops To Speak on Education A major pastoral message on Catholic education, entitled “ To Teach as Jesus Did,” is being readied for presentation to the U. S. Catholic Bishops at their general meeting in *2 C Washington Nov. 13-17. O o- Archbishop James V. Casey and Bishop George R. Evans -H C m will be included among the 250 members of the Hierarchy X expected to attend the five-day meeting of the National m X Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) and the United States < c c Conference (USCC). c: The pastoral, in preparation for well over a year, has or involved consultation with hundreds of individuals and groups > :i throughout the country as well as the Bishops themselves. If approved, it will be the Bishops’ first collective pastoral since their 1968 message on “ Human Life in Our Day.” FORMAL EDUCATION m r The pastoral on education deals with virtually all insti­ X r tutions and programs of formal education under Church ;o 3 sponsorship. The only major omission is seminaries, which T were treated at length by the Bishops in the recently ap­ proved and published “ Program of Priestly Formation.’.’/ Besides dealing with educational institutions andro- grams, the pastoral also presents an extensive theoretical rationale for Catholic education and makes numerous recom­ mendations concerning the process of educational planning. Twice previously this year — in January and again in September — earlier drafts of the document were sent to all the bishopg"for't’heti" cumments and suggestions. At the time the January draft went out, the bishops were also in­ vited to consult widely about it with priests, religious and lay- people in their dioceses, and many did so. W IDE CONSULTATION In addition, representatives of religious communities of men and women, professional educationakorganizations, and other groups and individuals have been consulted at various stages in the preparation of the pastoral. In part the document represents a response by the U. S. bishops to the Second Vatican Council’s Declaration on Chris­ tian Education. The council “ Declaration” urged national hierarchies to issue more detailed statements on the subject of education considered in light of conditions in their coun­ tries. Also, the U. S. bishops’ own 1967 “ Statement on Catholic Schools” promised a fuller treatment of Catholic education. A collective pastoral was specifically recommended by the Education Committee of the U. S. (Jatholic Conference. REVISION photo by Joseph's Revis;j_on of the document in light of the bishops’ sug­ gestions IS being carried out by a five -member editorial Brother John Moncha, O. F. M.
