The Missionary Education of Intermediates

"The Missionary Education of Intermediates" is a comprehensive exploration of pedagogical strategies designed to engage young adolescents in the global mission of the church. Mabel Gardner Kerschner provides a detailed framework for teaching missionary principles to "intermediates"-a developmental stage typically encompassing early adolescence-by aligning educational methods with their unique psychological and social needs.The work emphasizes that this age group is particularly receptive to ideals of service and social justice, making it an ideal time to foster a lifelong commitment to cross-cultural understanding and religious outreach. Kerschner outlines practical approaches for curriculum development, the power of storytelling through missionary biography, and the importance of hands-on service activities. By moving beyond rote memorization and focusing on experiential learning, the book seeks to build a foundation for active citizenship and faithful service.Historically significant, "The Missionary Education of Intermediates" serves as an important record of early 20th-century religious education practices. It offers valuable insights for scholars of Christian education and those interested in the evolution of youth ministry, highlighting the intersection of theology and adolescent psychology in the training of the next generation of church leaders.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
