What Does Community Look Like at School? A good start would be to look at our engagement in what Charlotte Mason called “The Science of Relations;” right relationships—one’s relationship to God, self, others, and ideas. This is at the core of what we do. It is why we do what we do. It is the fiber of our philosophical tapestry. (Charlotte Mason, School Education) Perhaps examining the Science of Relations would be a great start as we approach the call of parenthood. As parents, when we move toward our children, in their weakness and ours, where are we in our own exploration of the Science of Relations? How do I relate to God, self, and others? Is it through my ideals, or is it through the one Truth, that Jesus Christ is in me and that through Him I belong to others? I guess what seems to me most important within our framework is recognizing that, like me, my colleagues, classmates, teachers, students, friends and family members are all in need of Grace. It is imperative that we step towards one another with grace and encouragement in the full understanding that our positioning is in common, that we are unified in and through Jesus Christ, and in this we will exemplify the Community we were made to be.
