    SEBTS Spring Lecture - Wesner Fallaw March 14, 1962
    Description:
    Wesner Fallaw was Professor of Religious Education at Andover Newton Theological School. The service begins with a word of prayer (0:00-1:26). The speaker welcomes everyone and introduces Dr. Fallaw (1:27-3:42). Dr. Fallaw focuses on human innovation regarding the product of Christian nurture (3:43-7:35). He explains that a Christian educator must realize that God is the true educator as well as highlights the difference of learning about God and learning of God (7:36-12:35). Dr. Fallaw transitions to examining the learner’s character and personality as both affect the learner’s educational experience (12:36-24:47). He discusses that the church is supposed to be a nurturing community of faith: he suggests that a pastor should provide continual guidance/education for a child and his family (24:48-28:00). The church must realize its potential as the body of Christ and the pastor must serve as a father to the church members (28:01-35:14). He continues with the illustration of a shepherd and his flock to encourage pastoral nurturing in the church made possible with efficient preparation from seminaries (35:15-42:00). Dr. Fallaw concludes with a word of prayer (42:01-42:26).
