| GETTING
TO KNOW EACH OTHER
It is a privilege for me to be working
with the Church of the Larger Fellowship. The core of
religious education lies in the home, and in the personal
relationships that we have. We are all religious educators
and role models or mentors to others. And we all learn
from others, consciously or unconsciously.
More and more I am realizing that offering
resources that can be used by one person or between
two people or within a small group can be the building
blocks for use in larger groups. That has been an exciting
part of editing the Religious Education Curriculum Plan
for CLF. Dan Harper, Interim Director of Religious Education
until June 2003, and Virginia Steel, a long-time Director
of Religious Education, developed the plan. Virginia
and I have been refining it and adding some parts that
still need completion, but the major part is available
for use.
It is hard to develop resources in
a vacuum. I would like to have a better idea of who
is looking to CLF for religious education resources.
I would like to hear from you. You can send me e-mail
at
or join me on the religious education list serve at
CLF-re@uua.org
New Connections comes from a long tradition
of periodic publications for CLF. I hope to have other
editions in March and June 2004. I welcome your contributions
of resources that you have found helpful and things
that you are doing in religious education.
