A Tale of Two Towers: Making Episcopal Schools Missional In a Post Constantinian World
Historically Episcopal schools have been at the cutting edge of mission in the Episcopal Church. In order to determine if this is still the case, a questionnaire based on the Baptismal Covenant was sent to all graduates of St. John=s, a K-8 Episcopal Day School in Olney, Maryland. Results showed that attending St. John=s did help the alumni/ae live as people of character and faith. This information was combined with insights from the experiences of Christian and formerly Christian Universities and reflections on cultural and theological struggles in mission to suggest ways of increasing the missional nature of schools in a post- Constantinian world.
