Religious & Moral Education (TQS 3) [clear filter]
Friday, February 24
 

11:30am MST

Authentic Worship | understanding & teaching the connection between worship & purity
We live in a society where the word purity has become entangled in a gray area of post modernism & self-indulgence. Teaching authentic worship goes beyond just a faith or catechism class in school. It needs to be integrated into our systems as a whole. Accomplishing this requires a paradigm shift in both our mentality and our approach. Drawing from concepts laid out in his book, Peter guides us through the beginnings of what this shift might look like. Participants are invited to reflect, to journey, and to share.

The Purity Pandemic | dealing with disaster in our postmodern world
We are in a crisis. Our students are being faced with choices that they are ill equipped to make. A society of pornography and rape culture is infiltrating our well-being with incredibly severe consequences. We shy away from discussing the issues & pay a huge price. Not for the faint of heart, Peter offers an in-depth and in-your-face talk to teachers & educators about purity. While from the perspective of the Christian faith, principals shared transcend religious backgrounds. It’s time to talk about it. It’s time to fight back.
