| Summary: | ABSTRACT. Knowing ones religious values represent a form of cultural security,
a sign of civic and culturally attitudes. Religious education invites to reflection, to
self-knowledge, to a conversion to the world of values, having the purpose of
bringing communion between people and solidarity between the members of a
community. Recent years have proven that the catechetical activity of the Church
and the presence of religion in schools are necessary not only for religious
denominations, but also for the Romanian society as a whole, which, by these
rightful measures gained access to its own spirituality and to an essential tool in
teaching the young.
In Romanian space, Christian belief has acted as a unifying and perpetuating
factor for the nation. Being religiously initiated means to be educated, means to
have the capacity to increase and to support the education. Religious realities of
contemporary Romania show that the role of the religion teacher is a very
important one. Given the oversizing of the urban parish, the teacher manages
constantly the religious education of the young. This quasi-sacerdotal function of
the religion teacher imposes certain requirements in the training of the teacher
himself, in his continuous self-evaluations and self-improvement. |
