This study investigates the influence of Christian religious education in families and worship activities in schools on moral formation for students. Researchers have noticed that PAK teaching activities in families are a separate asset in the field of PAK. An activity that has a tremendous impact on future generations. Besides, routine worship activities in schools also need attention from all parties, namely parents, teachers, and the community. Of course not forgetting for the students themselves. Meanwhile, moral which is often equated with the formation of one's cognition, affection, and ethical behavior cannot be taken for granted. This must be formed in a time trajectory that requires energy, time thought, energy, money, and concentration to achieve an ideal moral form, especially from a Christian perspective. The method used is field research with post ex facto. From the data entered, it was found that the variable tendency was high, namely PAK Keluarga (X1) by 91%, student worship routines (X1) by 94%, and 97% for the formation of student morality (Y). Thus the proposed hypothesis has been answered through research. Therefore, religious education activities in the family and worship in schools need to be carried out regularly to obtain good morality for students. All parties should take this effort more seriously from the perspective of Christian morality formation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the work of the Bible in State Schools League in Queensland during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, culminating in the 1910 referendum on religious education in Queensland government schools. Through examining its campaign and the statements of supporters and opponents this paper seeks to examine the role of the school in relation to morality in this early period of the Queensland history. Design/methodology/approach This paper draws upon archival material, parliamentary debates, materials published by the Bible in State Schools League and contemporaneous newspaper accounts. These data are thematically analysed. Findings There was widespread agreement within the early Queensland society that the school was a place for moral formation. The Bible in State Schools League highlighted the tensions in the relationship between morals and religion in relation to the school. Research limitations/implications This research problematises the notion that developments in education have followed a straight line from religiosity to secularisation. Originality/value Very little has been published to date about the Queensland Bible in State Schools League. This paper goes some way to filling this lacuna.
