		<title>Monday Reflection for Week 10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The church consumer cycle: we provide a spiritual product which the masses consume for a price. It&#8217;s spirituality for sale- but not too much.
Just enough to make those sitting in the pews feel good enough to get through another week. Just enough to put a bandaid on the gaping chasm of desire for real community, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miriamp.wordpress.com&blog=449811&post=52&subd=miriamp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Wednesday Reflection for Week 9</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was intrigued with the discussion on the changing pedagogy and instructional methodologies at Fuller. It&#8217;s interesting to me to hear the same &#8220;new&#8221; ideas for teaching as those presented in Kindergarten trainings I&#8217;ve gone to in the past as a teacher. Experiential, constructivist, interactive learning is definitely at the cutting edge of teaching these [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miriamp.wordpress.com&blog=449811&post=50&subd=miriamp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Monday Reflection for Week 9</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today in class we discussed McGavran&#8217;s work in India and his ideas that people shouldn&#8217;t have to change thier culture to find God.
I wondered, do we do the same thing in public education? Often the school &#8220;culture&#8221; is very different than a child&#8217;s home culture in areas of high poverty and low school achievement.  While [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miriamp.wordpress.com&blog=449811&post=49&subd=miriamp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Wednesday Reflection for Week 8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I value the general premise of this case study paper in its application of course content to a specific context, I am really struggling with the format for writing it in multiple phases. I have never written a paper this way and find it very challenging to have to re-polish it each time instead of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miriamp.wordpress.com&blog=449811&post=48&subd=miriamp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Monday Reflection for Week 8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I spent so much time on my 500 word paper, but after class, it turns out I focused on different things than we need in the paper. I&#8217;ve never written a paper quite like this- it seems that it takes my brain some time to adjust to writing in stages like this.
One of the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miriamp.wordpress.com&blog=449811&post=47&subd=miriamp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Wednesday Reflection for Week 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really enjoyed our discussion of the Trinitarian view of missions and how this could apply to our case study. With its emphasis on relationship, inclusion, peacemaking, mutuality, and unity, I couldn&#8217;t help but think on a school wide scale in my case study. While all of those definitely apply in the classroom among teachers [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miriamp.wordpress.com&blog=449811&post=46&subd=miriamp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Case Study First Draft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Intro
Public education in the U.S. is failing many children, especially those affected by poverty and minorities. I believe the church has an integral role to play in redeeming the powers of public schools and embodying the Kingdom of God. 
&#160;
&#160;
Context
Esperanza Elementary School is one such public school, located in the Pico/Union district just west of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miriamp.wordpress.com&blog=449811&post=45&subd=miriamp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Monday Reflection for Week 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In class we applied the characteristics of emerging churches to our case studies. I feel like I could have monopolized our small group discussion with all my ideas for the classroom!
By its very nature, my case study is transforming the secular realm (2) of public school and would be very communal (3) if I lived [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miriamp.wordpress.com&blog=449811&post=44&subd=miriamp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Wednesday Reflection for Week Six</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In class on Wednesday, we discussed the emerging church again, going over nine key hallmarks of this movement as identified by Bolger in his research. One area is participation and our connected discussion of the participation of children in the church is of special interest to me.
 So often children are either completely seperated from adults [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=miriamp.wordpress.com&blog=449811&post=43&subd=miriamp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
