The last two centuries can be characterized as the age of uncertainty. The purpose of this study is to propose an answer for the question: what are the tasks of christian education in this age of uncertainty? The answer lies in the creative education. To explore the creative education, it is crucial to ponder upon what the creativity would mean in christian theology. In this article, the creativity is studied in the perspective of reformed theology.
Three characteristics of the creativity are discussed here: 1) vitality, 2) relationship, and 3) aesthetic. The implementation tasks in nurturing the creative spirituality should aim at 1) the identity education that helps the student keep his/her identity in the life of Jesus Christ, 2) the community education which lets the student acquire the vitality of Jesus Christ in full having relationships with others, and 3) the aesthetic education that purifies human emotion and communicates ideas in an aesthetic context.
