Rigorous Christian Education

The Primacy of Spiritual Disciplines in Education

Beth Derech believes that liturgical learning is crucial to a student’s education because it integrates spiritual practices into the fabric of daily life, shaping students' desires and imaginations in alignment with Christian values. By embedding liturgical elements—such as prayer, worship, and ritual—into the educational environment, students are immersed in practices that form their character and worldview. This approach not only deepens their understanding of faith but also cultivates habits and dispositions that align with the Kingdom of God, fostering a holistic formation that engages both the intellect and the heart. Through liturgical learning, education becomes a transformative process that shapes students into individuals who live out their faith authentically and meaningfully.
