Warsztat kaznodziejski Pana Jezusa wzorem dla seminaryjnego wychowawcy

Abstract

We live in a generation that has depreciated the authority of educators and their role in social life. Unfortunately, this negative trend also concerns the seminary community. Learning to be a good educator requires a proper interpretation of Jesus’ preaching methods. Imitating the Master of Nazareth may shape an educator that will not only be a teacher and a pedagogue, but also a master. In the pedagogical perspective, the Gospel remains the best treaty on education that people have. The preaching methods employed by Jesus reveal several features of a good educator. Thus, in order to perform their duties well, seminary teachers should be reliable and determined, love and trust their students, and speak well about others. Such educators should never resort to fear; instead, they ought to be able to praise and reprimand, be open to people causing trouble and introduce others into the world of freedom. Good teachers guarantee that their well-educated, mature students will in the future become good educators themselves. At present, the world needs great educators. There is often a shortage of those at home and in school; therefore, they should also be present in the seminary as well. Good educators, or evangelical educators, are concerned and can feel the pain of an unfulfilled seminary community resulting from the immaturity of its students.
