Understanding the Intersection of Reformed Faith and Dutch Immigrant Culture in Ontario Independent Christian Schools: Principals’ Experiences and Perspectives

In the aftermath of World War II, a wave of Dutch Reformed immigrants arrived in Ontario, many of whom joined the Christian Reformed Church. Following familiar cultural patterns, history, and their Reformed Christian faith, these immigrants settled in Ontario with remarkable institutional completeness (Breton, 1964). They quickly established independent, parent-operated Christian schools across Ontario. The primary purpose of the schools was to educate children through a comprehensive biblically based school program, yet this religious purpose often intersected with a Dutch immigrant ethnic culture. Van Dijk (2001) states that “the schools were the most important organization in maintaining the religious and ethnic identity of Calvinists” (p. 66). In this qualitative study I explore the intersection of Reformed faith and Dutch Canadian immigrant ethnic culture in Christian schools through the experiential and professional lens of eight retired principals. Employing a theoretical framework informed by Berger’s (1967) Sacred Canopy, I suggest that the intersection of faith and culture was experienced in the schools and was embodied by the schools themselves. Findings point to this intersection being located in the participants’ experience of (a) Dutchness, (b) the struggle for Christian education, (c) the ties that bound the school community together, and (d) the cloud of witnesses that founded and continues to support and encourage the Christian school community. The study offers insight into a Dutch Reformed immigrant group’s experience carving out a niche for themselves on the educational landscape in Ontario. This study also offers suggestions on how Christian schools can broaden their canopy and become more ethnically and denominationally diverse in the future.

O método de tradução de João Ferreira de Almeida: O caso do Evangelho de Mateus

Entre as traduções da Bíblia utilizadas nos países lusófonos, a clássica versão de João Ferreira de Almeida é a mais popular, mesmo quando o conceito de equivalência dinâmica é o impulsionador principal na produção de novas versões bíblicas. O texto da tradução original, tal como Almeida escreveu, jamais foi publicado e até agora não se conhece a localização de algum presumido manuscrito dela. As primeiras edições foram impressas com a revisão e aprovação do clero da Igreja Reformada Holandesa. Partindo do que se conhece da vida e da história da tradução de João Ferreira de Almeida, das seis primeiras edições do seu Novo Testamento e das edições do século XVIII do seu Antigo Testamento, esta pesquisa desenvolve um método para obtenção de uma edição crítica da obra de João Ferreira de Almeida, e o testa, produzindo uma versão crítica do Evangelho de Mateus.
