This is a place to share social media items that you have found.

 

Some of them may spawn threads to discuss them;however, it would be awesome if this thread was really focussed on the information that you feel is worth passing on to others.

 

Suggestion:  Pull the links, and put a short description of why you think it is awesome.

Consider it a library.,

Mary Poppins as a Christian Social Justice Educator

As I am building Accessiblechurch.ca. I am trying to do so using tools that make the ideas and content accessible to as many different people as possible.

Accessiblechurch.ca is not intended to be a complete resource on making your church accessible. I am trying also to demonstrate that there are existing free resources on the Internet that congregations  can use to improve accessibility.

Good news

  I have been away from WC for a while. I had to do a paper and write one mid-term.  I then got out of the habit of checking out WC as it was distracting me from focusing on my courses. I am taking a course on Economics and Ethics, and will be blogging and posting about some interesting things I am learning. Especially concerning the latest Christian /RC  thinking on Economics.

A Drama of Love

Here is a good story from Christian Educator's Guide to Creating Classes Where Everyone Belongs.

 

"A courageous young couple had adopted a badly abused child. Tommy was 5 but could say only two words, “car” and “bye-bye.” Easter Sunday dawned with all the Sunday school gathered for the annual pageant. Every child would have a line to say.
