Magister or Minister?

from Backporch Education Podcast

Classically, teachers were called magistri from the Latin magis “greater.” Yet, often we feel (especially in the Christian community) an impulse to be ministers (ministri) to our students. Are we to be lower, lesser, higher, or greater? Luther, in describing Christians, gives us the wonderful phrase simul iustus et peccator (simultaneously justified and a sinner). Today, I submit to you that we as teachers are simul magister et minister. In this episode, Jason and Steve promote the hierarchy necessary to great education.
