It seems as though one of the most important things the church can offer educators in the school system interested in character are some well thought out reflections on what character is, precisely. One of the reasons that the definitions and schema of character (or virtue) differs between school boards is that "character" is actually a rather vague term. It has become a catchall for all kinds of attributes which might be valued in our society, but not necessarily every society. Given the long tradition of moral theology in Anglicanism, it seems as though we ought be able to offer a valuable perspective on what constitutes virtue or good character. We have come across one short essay discussing this, but I wonder if anyone is aware of other thinkers who have written about this?
