“It kind of seems like violence IS the answer in the Bible.” - Ruben, confirming I am either doing everything right or everything wrong as a #Scripture teacher

Even though we don't officially have a #HouseOfRepresentatives yet, sign @JRSusa's most recent petition so the House will know to #StandWithRefugees when they get around to governing. Take Action for Refugees in the 118th Congress votervoice.net/Shares/BAAAAA…

Plenty good room for some more signatures on @JRSusa's petition to the new Congress. #StandWithRefugees and sign today. votervoice.net/Shares/BAAAAA…

Amongst their MANY other failings, @FIFAWorldCup really didn’t think through how disruptive a November international #soccer tournament would be to a multinational boarding school the week of the #Thanksgiving holiday. #FIFAWorldCup

Back in @GeorgetownPrep’s Figge Theater for #AChristmasCarol. Should be some enthusiastic laughing and clapping from the front row.

Which of these student insights from today’s #Harkness is the best comparison for the Wilderness Generation in Exodus?

Just came out of an Advisory period, talking to students about being "committed to doing justice." Lucky for me @GiuliaMcPherson and @JRSusa have teed up this way to back up my big talk with some #advocacy. Prioritize Mental Health for Refugees votervoice.net/Shares/BAAAAA…

Note to self: Add a “Tedium” column to the next group project #rubric. 🤔 #KidsSayTheDarndestThings

Such a loss! Fr. Nolan's _Jesus Before Christianity_ was and is critical to my theological understanding and imagination. It was a gift to read it and an honor to have taught it. #RestInPeace, Fr. Nolan.

"Can an experience of public school and college centered on standardized exams offer a sense of intellectual agency and vitality that leads to freedom and empowerment?" Such a compelling question from @anndaraabrams for all teachers, but a particular alarm for #Jesuit schools!

Definitely just had a student lead his partners in a prayerful reading of Psalm 23 before commencing work on today’s group project. I’m either doing everything big right or loud wrong. #MyFirstTime #BibleInTheWild

Step 1: Hang @SeattleU banner in the classroom. Step 2: ??? Step 3: Watch dozens of @GeorgetownPrep students make the premiere #Jesuit school on the West Coast their college choice. #TogetherWeSoar

Boy, are these folks going to be disappointed to learn that the Israelites were mostly a ragtag group of dispossessed Canaanites and not a heroic conquering army. #BibleInTheWild slate.com/news-and-politics/… via @slate

You know, Timothy. Based on 1 Tim. 2:8-15, you might be right!

September is #SuicidePreventionAwarenessMonth. Before we close it out, remember that you are loved by so many people - family, friends, teachers, neighbors, Starbucks baristas, etc. - who would miss you if you were gone and are here to listen if you're feeling low.

Want some thought-provoking insights into the Genesis Primeval Narratives? Just go ask some 15-year-olds like I did in today's #Harkness discussions.

A worthy addition to the fleet after the Vulture destroyed that other one while fighting #SpiderMan!

I have decided this is not proof-texting in the way some other people quote from #Leviticus, because this quote is part of much broader biblical theme. #ClassroomSemaphore

First #Harkness of the year on the Genesis creation stories. Check out the wisdom my students unearthed - no thanks to their teacher, who always learns so much from them. #GospelOfRussell

_What Happened at Vatican II_ is brilliant. Especially in our contemporary moment, where so many American Catholics are debating whether the council even happened, it is a must-read sketch of the work done behind the scenes to bring real change.
