Our workshops have been varied covering topics like chapel for weekday preschools, understanding the tween, temperaments, the wonderful world of boys, children's literature, healthy children.... Each has provided important information and an opportunity for future application in our own ministries. Jeanne, Cindy, and I look forward to sharing our experience with others.
However, the challenge to be an advocate for all God's children has been ever before us. To be the voice for those without voice, to share the dream, to build the beloved community, as expressed in The Initiative on Children and Poverty by the Council of Bishops was encouraged. The insight of outstanding speakers helped us to understand that we must truly embrace the words of Micah 6:8 - "to do justice, to love kindess, and to walk humbly with your God." We must be advocates for all children and sometime this means being in uncomfortable and unpopular places in our lives.
