Activitiesplanned around “No Name Calling” month will provide us with anotheruseful way to highlight our stripes and by emphasizing themes such ashumility, kindness, and empathy.For more information, feel free to contact the appropriate Unit Head or EricJones.Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus at EAThe Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus will perform on Monday, April 16that 9:45 a.m. in Christ Chapel.

When he began teaching17 years ago, Prothero discovered that few of his students could name the authors of theChristian Gospels. Fewer could name a single Hindu Scripture. Almost no one could name thefirst five books of the Hebrew Bible.”Episcopal parent, Karen Nakahara, steered the Newsweek piece my way, and she commentedthat, “This article reminded me of the terrific job that Episcopal does with exposing/educatingthe kids to religious issues. It really makes EA stand apart from its peers – not because it is a‘Christian’ school, but because one cannot be well-educated without some understanding ofthe power of religion to shape the world.” Mrs. Nakahara echoes Prothero’s thought that, “Ina world where really every political conflict has a religious underpinning, Americans are sellingthemselves short by remaining ignorant about basic religious history and texts….”Newsweek included a modified version of Prothero’s religious literacy quiz and I decided Iwould test our literacy at Episcopal by asking our religion teachers to quiz their students withit. Before I share our students’ results, please take the quiz yourself and see how you do. Theanswers are listed on page 2.Religious Literacy 1011. Which of the following is not one of the four Gospels?a. Luke b. John c. Paul d. Mark2. Which of the following is not one of Catholicism’s Seven Sacraments?a. social service b. marriage c. baptism d. reconciliation3. Which of the following is not one of the first five books of the Hebrew bible of OldTestament?a. Leviticus b. Genesis c. Job d. Numbers4. Where, according to the Bible, was Jesus born?a. Nazareth b. Bethlehem c. Jerusalem d. Jericho5. With which form of Islam is Al Qaeda closely identified?a. Sufi b. Sunni c. Shiite d. Ismaili6. Which of the following is a Mormon Scripture?a. The Upanishads b. The Book of Latter-day Saints c. The Vedas d. The BibleOur student results confirm Mrs. Nakahara’s sense that we are indeed ensuring religiousliteracy at Episcopal. A sample of 48 Upper Schoolers and 67 Middle Schoolers show that ourstudents scored well on the first four questions. While few Boston University students couldname the authors of the Christian gospels, 88% of the Middle School group and 94% of theUpper School got this question right. 73% of Middle Schoolers and 70% of Upper Schoolersknew that “social service” is not a sacrament. Over 60% of the Middle School group and75% of the Upper School group knew that “Job” is not part of the Pentateuch. Well over80% of both groups knew where Jesus was born. Unfortunately, less than half of our studentsknew that Al Qaeda is closely associated with the Sunni form of Islam, and while very fewof our Middle School students know that the Bible is Mormon scripture, 65% of UpperSchoolers answered the last question correctly. We have some room for improvement, but didfar better than Prothero’s students. How did you do?continued2007StudentNewsDevon student Camille Shrager ’14represented Episcopal at the KodalyNational Children’s Choir in Chicago, IL,March 21st-25th.

Academy NewsHead of School continuedOur religion classes and chapel program assure that all ourstudents are engaged in dialogue about religion and that theyare acquiring a solid foundation in this important subject.This gives us an edge over secular independent and publicschools where there is reluctance to even raise the subject.As Professor Prothero writes, “Given a political environmentwhere religion is increasingly important, it is increasinglyimportant to know something about religion. The payoff isa more involved political conversation.” I am happy to saythat our students will be well prepared to participate in thatconversation.Answers: 1. c, 2. a, 3. c, 4. b, 5. b, and 6. dMemorial Service for Fitz DixonThere will be a Memorial Service for Fitz Eugene Dixon, Jr.,a member of the class of 1942, which is open to his fellowclassmates, along with all other alumni and members of theEpiscopal Academy Community, on Friday April 27th at 4:00p.m. in Christ Chapel on the Merion campus, and will honorthe life of one its most distinguished alumni and his immensecontributions to the Academy.Alumni Society Hosts Annual CareerDay Program for the Senior ClassAlumni and parents will join the senior class on campus April9th to participate in the Alumni Society’s Annual CareerDay program for the senior class.
