ABSTRACT
The clauses in the 1944 Education Act dealing with school worship were warmly welcomed by those then concerned with religious education. The teacher of religious education of looks back to this time of optimistic faith a sadder and perhaps a wiser man. The main concern of the life of the school should be exhibited in the daily assembly. The clubs and societies may hold an annual fair, taking lunch times and assemblies to present their activities to the rest of the school. The careers master will have a week during his career exhibition. The music department should from time to time present the fruits of its labours. A central feature of worship, and one which Paul Tillich has shown to be definitive for religion as a whole, is the idea of ultimate concern. Worship is the response to that which is of ultimate concern.
