In 1902 elementary school provision in Oxford diocese – England's largest – reflected the national picture: 72 per cent were church schools, with total rolls of 54 per cent of school-age children. The bitterly contested 1902 Education Act apparently protected the future of church schools, but in practice its provisions severely undermined them, particularly in growing areas of the country. By 1929, Oxford's assistant bishop reported the schools’ situation as ‘critical’. This article examines the impact on the church schools of one rural deanery in South Buckinghamshire, between the 1902 and 1944 Education Acts. Several schools found themselves under threat of closure, while rapid population increase and a rising school leaving age more than quadrupled the number of school-age children in the area. Closer working with the local education authority and other denominations was one option to optimize scarce resources and protect the Church of England's influence on religious education in day schools: but many churchmen fought to keep church schools open at all costs. This strategy met with limited success: by 1939 the proportion of children in church schools had decreased to 10 per cent, with potential consequences for how religion was taught to the other 90 per cent of children.

Models of education in the new South Africa: Private church schools or state-aided community schools? The Nederduitsch Hervormde Church sees the basis of teaching and education to be a mother-tongue Christian education, culturally directed and of a high standard. Apart from the role of the Church, the state also has a responsibility towards the education of the child. This responsibility cannot be evaded. In the heterogeneous composition of the South African population, community schools are the obvious solution. The state-supported community school is cheaper than private or church schools, and at the same time it gives the state the attractive option of having the parents make a greater financial contribution to these schools. The statesupported community school, moreover, provides a worid-wide recognized model, founded on healthy and accredited educational principles. Nevertheless, very necessary and unavoidable adaption to this model has seriously to be considered by the church, by means of the continued and supplementary education of teachers in their thoughts and their outlook on life.

The Church

One of the most important events of the summer of 1917 was the opening of the All–Russian Council of the Orthodox church on 15 August in Moscow. In a dramatic opening ceremony, solemn processions from all the churches of Moscow converged on Red Square for the service led by Metropolitan Tikhon. The council had been convened by a 5 July order of the Holy Synod and its chief procurator, V. N. L'vov, with the concurrence of the Provisional Government. The calling of a church council–the first since Peter's establishment of the collegial system of administration–was a substantive change in church governance and also had a symbolic meaning. In pre-Petrine Russia, the councils not merely had played an ecclesiastical role but had formed an integral part of national government. (For example, Ivan IV and the church council had worked together to implement changes in the secular code of law as well as in spiritual and ecclesiastical matters.)

The Revolution

В статье раскрывается отношение православных публицистов консервативного направления к событиям Первой русской революции 1905-1907 гг. Анализ понятийного аппарата авторов позволил выявить два важнейших понятия, служивших для выражения отношения к революции: «смута» и «враги». Смута по своей сути отождествлялась авторами материалов с периодом начала XVII в. Вместе с нестабильностью как чертой времени в их глазах важной чертой была и необходимость защищать Родину от угрожавших ей «врагов». В определение последних публицисты вкладывали целый набор черт - от внешнего вида и манеры поведения до оценки их духовного состояния. Вместе с тем «враги» в статьях разделялись на внешних и внутренних в зависимости от происхождения и методов борьбы. The article studies the attitude of orthodox publicists of conservative direction to the events of the first Russian revolution of 1905-1907. The analysis of the authors' conceptual apparatus reveals the two most important concepts used to express their attitude to the revolution: "distemper" and "enemies". The authors of the material identified Troubles in its essence with the time of the beginning of the 17th century. Along with instability as a feature of the times, an important feature in their eyes was the need to defend the homeland from the "enemies" who threatened it. Publicists defined the latter by a whole set of traits ranging from physical appearance and mannerisms to an assessment of their spiritual state. At the same time, the "enemies" in the articles were divided into external and internal, depending on their origins and methods of struggle.

This article examines discussions of freedom of conscience and other religious liberties in the Orthodox ecclesiastical press between the Great Reforms of the 1860s and the first Russian Revolution in 1905. Avoiding highly influential and well-known religious thinkers, this piece instead focuses on forgotten ordained and lay writers who used their positions in the Church's hierarchy and educational establishments to reach a wide audience. At the heart of their views was a paradox: while frequently defining Christ as freedom and rejecting coercion in religious matters, these churchmen assailed freedom of conscience as morally dangerous and socially destructive. To explain this paradox and reveal why freedom of conscience allegedly posed such a threat, the article situates the writers in the institutional, intellectual, and political contexts of both the Church and the Russian Empire. Examining this is useful not only because it provides an example of how Russian Orthodox churchmen theologically justified the status quo of the empire's religious policy but also because it demonstrates how members of a state church perceived the shift of religion away from collective confessional ascription towards the individual, private sphere.

Church Schools

Community lies at the heart of both church and school life in the Church of England. In some areas, church communities are sustained by families who choose to attend a particular church based on the quality of the church school in its parish. Many Voluntary Aided Church of England schools (church schools) give priority admission to parents on the basis of faith in the oversubscription criteria of their admission arrangements. While the Church stresses inclusiveness in its recommendations regarding admissions policies to church schools, where a church school is very popular and oversubscribed arguably priority must be given to parents of the faith in the school's catchment area. Otherwise parishioner children whose families regularly attend church could fail to be admitted to their local church school because of competition for places.

Abstract. The situation of the Reformed elementary schools in the Reformed Diocese of Komárom in the 1920s–1930s. The present study provides an insight into the history of the Reformed church schools of the Reformed Diocese of Komárom in the territory of Czechoslovakia between the two world wars. Following geopolitical changes after 1920, the church school network had to be reorganized, which posed completely new challenges to the minority Reformed Church. Subsequent to presentation of the major school laws, the development of the diocesan school network is discussed. After the reorganization, teachers had to face a lot of grievances from state officials, which had a direct and indirect impact on both teachers and the educational policy of the Reformed Church. After outlining the problems of textbooks for use in schools, the diocesan schooling of the two decades under review is summarized.
