Multicultural Religious Education in a Trinitarian Perspective
Kim, Hyun-Sook
Religious Education, v107 n3 p247-261 2012
Multiculturalism is now confronted with pressures of maintaining a balance between unity and diversity on the one hand and building a global civic culture aiming at civic equality, liberty, toleration, and recognition in a global, transnational community on the other hand. With these difficulties, this article attempts to provide a model of multicultural education in a Trinitarian perspective in which students and teachers mirror the triune divine community and participate in communion, allowing them to move beyond the dichotomy between unity and diversity and universalization and pluralization toward a shared understanding and promote peaceful coexistence among global societies with adequate theological and educational principles. This article, based on the doctrine of Trinity and grounded in an awareness and analysis of the realities of social situations, suggests positive hope for God's future and a concrete model for human society in which equality, openness, and relationality are closely related as they achieve mutual respect, especially in teaching and learning process. (Contains 6 footnotes.)
