Exporting Godliness: The Church, Education and ‘Higher Civilization’ in the British Empire from the late Nineteenth Century

Abstract

This article discusses the impact of the educational method pioneered in the English public schools on the development of education in Anglican schools in the British empire, with a particular focus on the Indian subcontinent from the turn of the twentieth century until the outbreak of the First World War. It discusses how the focus of missionary activity changed from a desire for overt evangelism into a sense of the transmission of moral and ethical values though a system of education in the Christian virtues. An educational understanding of salvation began to supplant the doctrinal. This is connected with the thinking on ‘higher’ and ‘lower’ civilizations of the period. A central focus is on the preparatory work for, and discussions around, the Pan-Anglican Congress of 1908 and the role played by Bishop H. H. Montgomery.

Research on the Teaching Performance of Incorporating Ethics and Moral Values in Higher Accounting Education

“…This requires accounting practitioners to have an extremely high quality of ethical awareness in terms of professional skills and professional responsibilities: willing to contribute, be honest, adhere to principles, and strive for excellence. Chapman (2019) discusses how a sense of moral and ethical values is transmitted by the system of education in the Christian virtues with the focus of missionary activity [1]. The educational understanding of salvation supplants the doctrines in western traditional higher education from the late 19 th century.…”
