| Anabaptist Ways of Knowing: A Conversation about Tradition-Based Critical Education | View shopping basket | | by Sara Wenger Shenk | |

Related Items 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.

| 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. Book 2

| Hopedale, Massachusetts in 1855 is a town unlike any other.
There are no soldiers or military parades, no police, no courts, and no
jail. Everyone who lives there has promised never to kill, hate, or
hurt another human being-not even their worst enemy. There are no rich
people and no poor people. Everyone has a job to do, and everyone
shares. Eight-year-old Susie has an important job. She and her
sister Anna deliver the mail to everyone in Hopedale and sell the
special pink Hopedale Penny Post stamps. Join Susie as she makes her
rounds and shows what makes her town so special. Find out what
happened when a burglar came to town. Copyright 2003. | | | | With Our Own Eyes | View shopping basket | | by Don Mosley and Joyce Hollyday | |

Missions
| 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. Winner of Pax Christi
