GEORGETOWN PENTECOSTAL CHURCH Thursday June 27 PM WELCOME TO OUR JUNE SUNDAY SERVICES AM come over the past couple of decades to be dominated in creasingly by a monolithic secularism reflecting the trends In our society In the concluding chapter of their book Western Civilization Vol 1963 and note that by the middle of the Century almost the whole fabric of Western mans culture had undergone or was un dergoing cataclysmic change with Utile Indication that the pace would slacken What Is the nature of this change go on to describe It as the destruction of the JudaeoChrlstlan way of life which has been the matrix which bound the Western world In a developing humane and purposeful fellowship Toynbee calls It the western worlds descent Into bar barism not lust an Isolated aberration but an ominous sign of the times Globe and Mall Sept 1970 In their book A History of European Ideas 1962 Lund and Slok note that In the secular view of life there Is no higher goal than promoting the happiness of the In dividual secularization means arranging society according to nonrcligloua principles It also advocates cultural relativism or nothing is of real value all norms of good and evil are cultural conventions which could be changed to their no manner of life can be said to be the Tight one in the final analysis there Is no absolute truth according to which behaviour should be fashioned EDUCATION GOALS Dr Max former Superintendent of Public In struction for California in What are they doing our children writes that before 1930 a general consensus existed as to what the goals of education should be But since then the increasing adoption of John Deweys a nil Christian philosophy has spawned what is called progressive education It has spread widely and cap lured the sup port of most liberal socialist and secular educational leaders especially at the higher policy making levels Though one must acknowledge that here is still considerable variation at local levels of application When Dewey taught that there were no eternal truths he was saying that no particular subject matter was vital to the educated man and as a logical consequence no God either As Dr Ken Davis Waterloo University has observed It is obvious that all these facets of secular humanism are part and parcel of he new humanistic and progressive dducatlonal philosophy now flooding into our public school systems Almost Identical words to hose quoted above on cultural relativism can be found at the heart of the Hall- Dennis Report It Is essentia to see too that the new humanism Marxism secularism and the new secular liberal Christianity are bedfellows Through the Influence of philosophers and theologians of Marxist conviction such as Ma reuse and Block in Europe a theology of secularization has emerged and been taken up In North America by men like Harvey Cox Through these men this theology of secularization became the accredited Ideology of the World Council of Chur- Its purpose Is to humanize society by changing political and social structures Peter Beyerhaus University of Tubingen in Christianity Today July page And as Dr Ken Davis observes he public school system Is fast becoming the equivalent of its Sunday School In a recent book A Christian America T Handy warns that Instead of the church having Christianized civilization had captured the church What are some evidences of the secularization that has come to be allpervasive in our public educational system REVOLUTION Of the HallDennis Report on Education for Ontario Dr J Daly writes in Education or Molasses 1968 that Its prescriptions Imply a revolution In the relation between children and adults a revolution in the school the family and ultimately in society He points out that Underlying the whole report is a theory of education which Is childcentred permissive and socalled progressive It Is based on a view of human nature derived from ancient Greece and which is thoroughly unChristlan It calls for the elimination of distinctions and rewards and even to some measure of responsibility for ones actions Similarly It teaches contrary to Scripture that not only all corporal punishment Is wrong even by parents but also It opposes all punishment even of bad behavior Even the power of boards and principals to expel or suspend is to be reviewed Children raised In the Christian en vironment of family discipline- are considered oppressed and victims and are taught such Children are to be allowed to discover what is right and wrong and what to believe without recourse to adult Indoctrination or to any authority Following up the Report the department of education cir cular HSI 19723 says It follows therefore that student participation in the process of decision making is particularly desirable in the secondary school Also seeking to involve the students more actively In educational decisionmaking principals and teachers alike are changing traditional curricular and organizational patterns Referring to changes In basic philosophy the Honourable R Welch noted in 1971 that by all of our secondary schools will have converted to the new plan by which the new philosophy is to be Im plemented An official from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education in Channel 19 TV interview June 1972 In sisted that the present organization of education to the County system plus trends In teachers organizations represented a moving towards more monollthlch control Thus the change is not solely to a secularization of content but also of methodology to attitudes

remainder of the costs Acton and Hills are they the same After five months of being a part of the large town of Hills many Acton residents still are not willing to accept It In survey many of the residents of the town claim that things have changed since the inception of Hills on Jan 1 However a sizable number of residents are beginning to the new town for what it Is and are willing to give It a try to see If It will work So the question comes to mind an Actonlte do you Feel closer to Halton Hills or to Acton June Mylrey of l Acton a house wife felt that she does not really feel like a part of Halton Hills but rather still a part of Acton I dont feel like Im closer to the town of Hills she said Mrs had a few reasons for the feeling in cluding the idea that Halton Hills Government Is lacking communications with the area residents Were used to being treated in a small town she added Now were part of a big conglomerate However Mrs Mylrey noted that Halton Hills has only operated for five months and we should not be too quick to decide We cant really form an honest opinion in the length of time I think we should give them a chance she said L St Andrews a regular visitor to the town and an air traffic controller believed she was closer to Acton because its really a nice pleasant town What is the place called Hills for she Questioned at Andrews noted that the only thing really wrong with the town Is that It lacked mall she added Craig a summer employee of the town Hying on Mulberry Place voiced the opinion that he felt closer to Hallos HLUs than to Acton He noted
