Christian Education, Saint Francis, and Peace

October 4, 2014
Saint Francis Day

Dear Friends,

As I write the Ecumenical Sunday School Symposium, in cooperation with the Parish Resource Center, is underway here at Mercer School.  Some forty religious educators from a variety of denominations have gathered to talk and think together about Sunday School for exceptional children, about Godly Play, about the uses of the internet in faith formation, and more.  

We are happy to welcome the Parish Resource Director, Carla McKenzie, along with Heidi and staff members.  

Here is a link to the presentation on wen resources in faith formation that I will be offering after lunch today: https://flowboard.com/s/1hrh

You can access an up-to-date listing of Mercer fall theological/spirituality events today at:

On this Saint Francis Day, when our Jewish and Islamic brothers and sisters are also noting important dates in the religious calendar around the world, may God lead us toward peace.

Blessings,
John McGinty+
