Abstract
What is the legitimate use of power in religious education? Laughter can help us answer this question. First, we will look at the history of laughter and its relation to freedom. Second, four models of laughter will be described and evaluated. Third, we will discuss how it feels for order to emerge out of chaos in human beings and what kind of laughter emerges from that experience. Finally, the rediscovery of intrinsic motivation will be narrated and implications drawn to guide our teaching and learning. 1Deep gratitude is expressed to the Dean, Clergy, Staff, and Congregation of St. John's Cathedral, Denver, Colorado, where this paper was developed during Advent, 1997, when I was their Theologian in Residence.
