Our Namesake
St. Augustine of Hippo [354-430AD], a foremost philosopher- Theologian of the early Christian church, was born in North Africa. His mother Monica was a devout Christian who raised her son to follow the Christian faith. Augustine, however did not follow these teachings, and his mother prayed for his conversion.
Augustine was a great teacher who captivated his students. Augustine argued that the education must begin from the natural curiosity of the students. He maintained that the teachers must gain the confidence and trust of their students, explain things clearly, alter teaching methods to maintain interest, and present materials at their student level of understanding.
Augustine was a teacher ahead of his time. At the age of 33, Augustine was filled with the Holy Spirit and was baptized. He was ordained a priest in 391 AD. In 396, he became bishop of Hippo. Augustine spent most of his life writing about the love of God for us. He believed the presence of God within us is the source of all knowledge, and that our basic faith must be grounded in scripture as well as guided by the teaching of the church.
