Weprimarily focus on the educational theory of Dietrich Benner and his positions on therole of the school as a transitory educational institution between family and societylinked . Secondly, we rely on the theological view of congregational educationreflected by St. Cyril's of Jerusalem Catechetical Lectures from which the church’scharacter on catechetical ministry mystagogy emerges.Reflections resulting from the study's evidence are supposed to shed light on whetherand how teacher training programs have an impact on School Religious Education'steaching practice. This would be an important factor, adding both to teacher trainingstandards and the effectiveness of religious education practice in Greek publicschools.
