The Anglican Catechist

This is a series of columns written for The Western Michigan Episcopalian while I was both editor and chair of the Christian Education Commission of the Diocese of Western Michigan.

Love One Another (A valentine commentary for the classroom concerning our real goal: teaching love.)

Summer's Re-Creation! (How best to use our summer time to be recreated and become "enthused" for fall.

With Fear and Trembling (Starting the fall again, and like Isaiah, we wish to be touched with a burning coal so we know our words are His words.)

The Infinite Treasure (We suffer with great frustration when we see the infrequent attendance of many of the children, and we would like to have them discover the infinite treasure of God's love. How do we convince parents?)

Eyes That See - Ears That Hear (Isn't this the whole purpose of the educational mission of the Church: to develop eyes that see the hand of the Lord at work in our lives and ears that hear the voice of the Shepherd?)

Paul Understood - At Least in Part (Does the congregation appreciate the significant work of the catechists, or do they view it as trivial - a question that might arise in November days.)
