He adds that the course is also
designed to prepare laymen for
work in Baptist churches.
Primarily designed for second
semester freshmen and for sop-
homores the course is also op-
ened to juniors and seniors who
have not had a course in relig-
ious education.
However the course is open to
anyone who desires to take the
course. One hour of credit is
given for the one semester course.
"The course is an experiment
in team teaching" Dr. Terry
said "as well as a survey to de-
termine how interested lay work-
ers are in religious education."
Dr. Terry feels that it is popu-
lar enough to be offered again.
"We would like to extend an in-
vitation to any student who
might have a vague or diminu-
tive idea about religious educa-
tion to consider talcing the course
whereby they would increase
their knowledge of religious
education" Dr. Tony said.
