Q: What is the church's role in academic education? Which should play a bigger role in lives and in society?
A:
The church is called to impact the world, and that role should be
carried out 100%. Wendy Kopp's request of churches in Session Three was "to encourage and challenge our youth to serve with two years of their
lives to contribute to this transforming of the unequal educational
system in our country and the world." The church's role in academic
education isn't specifically outlined in the Bible, but Teach for
America is aligned with God's passion for a church that impacts the
world and fights against injustice.
