Anabaptist Ways of Knowing: A Conversation about Tradition-Based Critical EducationView

Education
The conversation about education recorded in Anabaptist Ways of Knowing grows out of a concern that practices which shaped faith communities in the past are rapidly being discarded and replaced in a haphazard, unexamined way. Shenk contends that by revitalizing core practices and the powerful substratum of knowledge they provide, educational endeavors can renew the wellspring of community life.

Here is a resource for any who care about the recovery of faith- based educational practices that are part of a church-school-family ecology. Shenk's aim is to present a strong rationale for tradition- based, critical education that incorporates core practices for strengthening faith communities into its theorizing. The book offers a viable proposal for the Anabaptist-Mennonite faith community often featured in the discussion. And it serves as a model for reflecting on educational theory from any particular Christian tradition.

Asia
As the "center" of Christianity moves South to Africa, Asia, and Latin America, what are the gifts which churches in different parts of the world can share with each other. Can the North (Europe and North America) receive as well as give?

Who's rich? In What? Who's needy? In what way? Is endurance a gift to share? What about leadership in hard times? Music? Mutual sharing? Listening and patience? An African and an American reflect together.

What does it mean for Christians to be hospitable? How, in this age of pressing deadlines and busy schedules, can we keep from sighing with the heaviness of one more Christian duty? Hospitality is often seen as a bland practice of politeness or an invitation to be harmed by a stranger.

Biblical hospitality is different. God's call to love the stranger is neither boring nor dangerous. Instead, it is an invitation to experience God in a new way. Not in a way that depletes our energy, but always in a way where two become three, as God joins us at the table.

People usually don't expect surprises. Yet biblical hospitality, the call to love the stranger, guarantees that a surprise is just around the corner. The guest becomes the host. Givers receive more than they give, God is seen in the most unlikely people. In the process, we become guests of the most gracious Host of all.

Here is the story of people who threw themselves into an effort to take the teaching of Jesus seriously, "in scorn of the consequences."

The "consequences" have been amazing. These passionate Christians have participated in saving hundreds of refugee lives, traveled to war zones around the world, chased midnight trains bearing nuclear weapons, and endured imprisonment. They have experienced nationwide media attention.

These Christians, based at Jubilee Partners in Comer, Georgia, have experienced an ever-deepening commitment to being channels of God's love in a violent world. Through sharing their story, Don Mosley with Joyce Hollyday invites thousands more Christians to join them in this effort.
