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

Related Items Education Community | 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. Copyright 2003. | |

Cover... Related Items Leadership Young Adult | This is a book of stories-the stories of young adults as told to
other young adults who are working hard with imagination, longing and
love to weave a coherent faith and way of life. The stories provide
exemplary illustrations of how young adults are drawing vibrant threads
from the wonderful, but somewhat frayed heritage they've been given and
weaving them into a new coherency. They show the way toward a future
church that will be authentic, down-to-earth, and life giving for their
generation. The young adults in this book invite pastors, parents, and friends into a potentially transformative dialogue about the stories and practices we use to make sense of our world and to form a way of life. The work young adults do is challenging work, often lonely work; but when done in the company of loved and respected others, it is the heart and soul of what makes life good. As we enter into genuine conversation with t he questions and visions of young adults, our faith communities will be transformed. Copyright 2005 Herald Press | |
