Solano Portela featured in Annual Taber Lecture Series

Mon, 22nd March, 2010 - Posted by John Battle - (0) Comment

Author and speaker Solano Portela, an expert in Christian education and a leader in the burgeoning Christian school movement in Brazil, will deliver this year’s lectures, entitled “Christian Education–A Reformed Imperative.”  Lectures will be held at the seminary April 19-20 and 22-23, 7:00-9:00 p.m.  Free refreshments will be provided.

Portela has written articles and books in both English and Portuguese dealing with the Reformed faith and its application in the education of our children.  He is a leader in the Association of Christian Schools International in Brazil, and has served in various administrative positions in the Mackenzie Presbyterian Schools and Universities, with 47,000 students.

Here are the topics for each evening:

Monday, April 19: “The Need for a Reformed World and Life View – Guiding our thoughts with Psalm 19″

The Christian Weltanschauung, defining it from Psalm 19; demonstrating the biblical world and life view; this worldview applied to several areas of knowledge (economics, government, history, and so on), showing that there is a difference in how Christians should approach and teach each one of these areas

Tuesday, April 20: “Distinctive Characteristics of Christian Education”

An explanation of Christian school education, building on the biblical worldview, comparing it to secular education, stressing the role of teachers and parents in this process

Thursday, April 22, “Christian Education and Culture”

The Christian view of culture, showing how the Bible uses aspects of human culture as an expression of God’s common grace; demonstrated in the tabernacle, in the temple, and in Revelation; the dilemma between flesh and spirit, not matter and spirit, as an ethical divider; the different  approaches suggested by Niebuhr and Machen (stressing the latter); the relation of Christian education and culture in the role of the Christian School

Friday, April 23, “Doing Christian Education in a non-Christian Setting”

The amazing work of God going on in Brazil; the setting and experiences of Mackenzie Schools and Universities; the progress of Reformed Christian teaching in a non-Christian setting (75% of parents and students are from a non-evangelical Christian background); lessons in developing text-books with a Christian worldview
