Christian Education

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about Christian Education, that is, private Christian schools, whether elementary/middle/junior/high school or colleges.  I'm going to begin to post a good number of entries to this blog that record the debate within me.  Last month in an email to a good friend I wrote the following; let it be a preview of posts to come:
And that's the tension I'm struggling with right now- my experiences and ecclesiology on the one hand, my confusion that Wine is still in the leaky wineskins, my internal check of my biased perspectives, my epistemological self-doubt and my wonder that other "organics" don't seem to believe in the evils of Christian Ed with the same ferocity that I do on the other.  On the one hand, I have the admonition that those who pick fights with the Bride don't take long to find themselves fighting with the Bride-Groom, on the other, I have the strong, strong "deviant labeling" in Scripture for those who are hurting the Church- at what point is criticizing the Church attacking Her chains and at what point is it attacking Her?
Thoughts? Any simple answers to prevent multiple posts wasting perfectly good internet?
