Zusammenfassung:Church school teachers (N=114) from the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. were tested using a projective technique as part of an evaluation of a new church school curriculum. We examined views of children and family; the autonomous individual; responses to novelty; intellectual organization; time-structuring; interpretation of Christian symbolism; and religious expression. These concerns are all relevant to church school teaching. Expectations of the curriculum planners are also articulated. Data suggest a deep disjunction between the expectations and the actual teachers in regard to all eight issues. Particularly important is the near-identification of Christian and family life by the teachers, to the neglect of individual autonomy.
