Likewise, educators and health care workers are increasingly concerned with obtaining an understanding that improves culturally competent care. The purpose of this study was to investigate the lived experiences of participants of a Christian college who travelled on a short-term international mission trip (STIMT). One openended inquiry guided the interviews: How would you describe your experience as a participant who travelled on a STIMT? An in-depth, oneon-one interview of participants occurred until data saturation was reached. Colaizzi’s strategy was used to analyze and organize the data. Leininger’s sunrise model was used to guide this study. Themes that emerged from this study included cultural adaptation, relationships, spiritual factors, and personal gain. Participants from Christian colleges who have returned from STIMTs often report their life was impacted by a broadening of their outlook on culture and diverse levels of poverty, while also having their own self-awareness increased (Swartzenruber, 2008-2009). Priest, Dischinger, Rasmussen, and Brown (2006) addressed mission trips as rituals of intensification, where goals are chased, physical and spiritual challenges are faced, and personal transformation can occur (p. 434). In a study of the faith-based short-term medical mission trip, Harner, Mann, Whitten, Abraham, and Gillum (2019) illuminated seven themes and pointed to the importance of pre-trip planning.

{"title":"Tatian and Basil: Differing Views Regarding the Pagan Educational System of Antiquity","authors":"S. Rhodes","doi":"10.55254/1835-1492.1385","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.55254/1835-1492.1385","url":null,"abstract":"Advanced education for Christians of antiquity was only available through schools which used classical Greek methodology. This included literature, poetry, and philosophy closely tied to polytheistic and pagan traditions. Christian families and leaders at that time had to consider the spiritual implications of participating in such a system. This article contrasts the opinion of Tatian with that of Basil of Caesarea regarding Christian participation in pagan education. Basil and Tatian had similar ascetic views, yet they differed on this issue. Tatian believed Christians should not take part in pagan education. Basil believed that Christians could benefit spiritually from this education if they experienced it selectively and wisely. It is concluded that Basil’s view is the wiser choice. Introduction Stories of Christian young people having their faith challenged at university (or before) abound in our day. For this reason, many parents and other spiritual leaders wrestle with how to counsel their children and other students in regard to higher education. This problem is not new, however. I will explore a similar conundrum that was faced by Christians in antiquity. The only opportunity for advanced education during the first few centuries of Christianity was schooling in the classical Greek tradition. This included quite a bit of pagan and polytheistic material. Not all Christians agreed on whether or not to partake in this form of education. Tatian of Assyria expressed his negative ideas about pagan education in Oratio Ad Graecos. On the other hand, Basil of Caesarea wrote one of the most important treatises on the positive aspects of pagan education for Christians, Ad Adulescentes. The purpose of this article is to compare Tatian’s view with that of Basil, simultaneously comparing the reasons behind each view as well as potential outcomes of each, to demonstrate that Basil’s generally represents the better course of action. This is accomplished by comparing relevant passages in Oratio Ad Graecos with Ad Adulescentes; while pointing out the importance of the positive arguments in the latter. Background of the problem For ancient Christians, advanced education could only be obtained by paying to attend pagan schools. This type of education was necessary for those seeking high-level careers in politics or advancement in the military (Schlager, 1991, p. 38). In addition, Christians needed this formal training to engage in apologetics and theology (Weltin, 1987, p. 13). Therefore, families with means who wanted their sons to be educated had to send them to schools that essentially espoused false gods. This was not a small problem for Christians in antiquity. Dimitris Alexandrakas describes it, “Christians were caught in a cultural dilemma. From one side, classical education, logic, human philosophy, and polytheism; from the other, Christian learning, faith, divine philosophy, and the true God” (Alexandrakas, 1994, p. 287).
