There is an interesting article on the First Things blog about the growth of classical Christian education amongst Catholics. Here is the articles:

The Case for Classical Education

Some of this is happening because of the closing of some traditional Catholic schools. This move is suggested by Andrew Seely and Elisabeth Ryan Sullivan who are Catholic educational leaders. I think that it is a good move. I also think that it is a opportunity for the members of different branches of the church to figure out a way to work together. This is not to diminish any of the doctrinal differences between Catholics and Protestants. We need to talk about these differences. Important matters are at stake in the issues that caused the Reformation. It is a recognition that many Catholics and Protestants presently do not know or understand those differences which might offer an opportunity--especially regarding classical Christian education.

The Catholic criticism of Protestants is basically "you don't know church history." The Protestant dig on Catholics is "you don't know the Bible." Sometimes this is true; sometimes not. What if we made a place where Protestant and Catholic kids could learn about the Bible and Church History and argue about it? Wouldn't those kids be able to relate to one another without having to work through the caricatures of 16th and 17th century debates which might not be the most pertinent today?

I hope that Protestants and Catholics and find ways to work together to give their children a great Christian education.
