Episode description

A native of the United Kingdom, now teaching at Calvin University, Grand Rapids, Professor David Smith has an international reputation as a thinker and practitioner at the place where faith and teaching meet.  He quotes the 17th century educator Comenius, who believed that education is for all, regardless of age, class, sex, and nationality, as seeming “more 1960s than 1660s,” and has a great answer to the problem of teaching sporting skills in a Christian way “without doing something rather stupid.”
