As Christians we have a heritage of learning. For 4,000 years, our God has encouraged learning. Reading and writing have been important parts of our heritage. But, it was not just simply reading and writing. From Saint Paul, who studied philosophy and theology under Gamaliel, through Saint John Chrysostom, who exemplified the oratorical training of the ancient world, through Saint Gregory Palamas, shortly before the fall of Constantinople, learning has been an important part of Christianity. Yes, there have been periods when the ideal has not been upheld. But, by and large, both Jews and Christians have a heritage of schooling, learning, and deep thought. Learning is Spiritual ☀
