An article I wrote
[email protected]
As some of you know, I work as a Director of Religious Education at a
Unitarian Universalist church in Massachusetts. I recently wrote an article
that was published on UU Faithworks, a publication for UU religious
educators. The title is "What Religious Educators can learn From
Homeschoolers."
If you're interested, please check it out. Here's the URL:

That was fun to read!
So are they going to fire you now that you don't want to teach kids facts and
history? <G>
(joking)
This I do have a question about though: -=-Parents are the primary educators
of their children. Whether or not a child goes to school, families are the
center of a child's learning. While as ministers and religious educators we
can support children, youth, and families in growing in their spiritual
journeys, we are a resource rather than the experience itself. The real work
happens at home. -=-
There are kids like I was whose spiritual journeys were NOT at home nearly as
much as they were at church. Maybe UUs don't get many kids without their
parents, but I knew other kids whose parents were pretty worthless to them
religiously speaking. So if you count on the family beng the experience for
every kid, some will lose out.
(Probably they will find other families or adults to use for that learning
purpose, though.)

Hi Kathryn,
I am a fellow UU unschooler living in California now,
but from Massachusetts. We were memebers of the UU
Church of Reading MA. So good to hear from you!
Being a UU and an unschooler makes so much sense to
me, I don't know why more don't do it!

That article is beautiful. We are learning so much spirituality here
all of us, since we are Homeschooling. There is a threshold of
happiness here and fulfillment of ourselves and each other. I wish to
belong to a fellowship like the one you described. Maybe one of these
days. Lisa of MT
