Carrying on from Scientific observers, shepherds and messiahs, here’s Maria Montessori’s take:

But let us seek to implement in the soul the self-sacrificing spirit of the scientist with the reverent love of the disciple of Christ, and we shall have prepared the spirit of the teacher.

– The Montessori Method, p13, Maria Montessori

Teaching is where religion and science meet.

Happy Christmas one and all!
