Описание: Synopsis: People are moving to the margins of the Catholic Church. As one dialogue partner states, "I left the Church to beat the rush." Yet, another remarks, "I just wonder. I have to ask, who's on the margins? I'm not sure." Let Your Voice Be Heard details original practical theology research that endeavors to understand the dynamics on the margins of the Roman Catholic Church in dialogue with fifty dialogue partners from across the United States. Practical theology, the theology of marginality of Jung Young Lee, reciprocal ethnography, and the communication theory of Mikhail Bakhtin join in a cross-disciplinary dialogue. In conversation with dialogue partners, Joan Hebert Reisinger seeks the reasons why Catholics over the age of twenty-one who were once active and involved in the Catholic Church find themselves on the margins of the Church and how they understand their own marginality. The dialogue partners speak of new ways of being Church emerging on the margins. This emerging Church is marked by inclusive relationships that include dialogue that does not seek agreement or consensus, a critical and thoughtful recalling of memories and narratives of the Catholic faith tradition, and appropriation of these in new and creative ways. Endorsements: "Creating a rich theological dialogue rooted in cross-disciplinary inquiry, Reisinger makes room at the table for those who in the past have been overlooked and undervalued. In Let Your Voice Be Heard, we are challenged to rethink our perceptions of margin and center, discovering the creative potential situated in the diversity of voices at the margins of the church." --L. Juliana Claassens, Stellenbosch University "If you pick up this book, be prepared to listen. When Joan Reisinger invites us to listen to Catholics at the margins, she means it. She lets us hear their voices, their longings, and their pain. But these voices are not outsiders looking in; they are wisdom-seekers forging new ground and space with faith that is both bold and hopeful." --Kathleen A. Cahalan, Saint John's School of Theology-Seminary "This is an amazing book, learned and very wise. Catholic leaders talk today about 'the new evangelization.' I think they would be well advised to read this book to understand both the challenge and importance of this new evangelization for those who are so faithful, and yet find themselves at the church's margins. Such women and men may well evangelize us " --Stephen Bevans, Catholic Theological Union "This is practical theology for the U.S. Catholic context, where the margins are an increasingly crowded and--as this book shows--theologically rich place." --Tom Beaudoin, Fordham University Author Biography: Joan Hebert Reisinger combines a dual career as both a practical theologian and a speech language pathologist. Her primary research interests are in ecclesiology, particularly the study of those on the margins of the Church, and religious education.

In Book One of The Happy Atom Story, Guy met Professor Terry and was transported via her magic Periodic Table to the fantasy world of Periodic Table Land.
Once there, the elements, the silly electrons, the proper protons and all the little atoms eagerly shared knowledge of their chemical world with Guy. On this journey, Guy discovered the Periodic Table holds the key to unlocking information about the atoms.
Using the secrets of the Periodic Table, Guy in Book 2 teaches the elements in Periodic Table Land how to draw Bohr models of their atoms. Professor Terry then brings him to meet all the chemical families who will become part of his chemistry experience.
The book ends with Professor Terry finding out that the elements in Sodium's family are very sad. She challenges Sodium to search Periodic Table Land to discover how elements can become happy atoms. His discovery sets the stage for the topic of Book 3: compound formation.
The principles of chemistry are woven throughout this fantasy tale to convey principles of chemistry in a way that captures the attention of young readers making learning fun.

Описание:
The Keeping is a heartfelt collection that explores growing up in rural Oklahoma, engaging with the natural world, and paying tribute to women. From the very first poem entitled "Our Mothers Would Not Let Us Watch," Linda Neal Reising casts the reader into the landscape of her childhood, a rural part of Oklahoma, where the lead and zinc mines played out years before, leaving "those gaping mouths that never swallowed." She goes on to people the landscape with characters--a father who went to school with Mickey Mantle in "No. 7 and Other Heroes," a cousin convinced he is being hunted by the "F.B.I., C.I.A., Russians," and teenagers attempting to navigate adolescence during wartime, concerned with being "faroutgroovyheavyman." Intertwined in this section is the author's Native American roots.
The second section moves to an examination of the natural world, but even here, the animals are connected to people, as in "Every Little Being," a poem in which we are introduced to a veterinarian who must euthanize unwanted animals, or as in "Coyotes," a poem in which the animals are being hunted for their pelts. The poet also pays tribute to other women poets who incorporated nature into their poems, namely Jane Kenyon and Mary Oliver, whom Reising praises in her repeated line, "I want to see with Mary's eyes."
Finally, in the third section, the poet celebrates women at different stages in their lives, beginning with "Women at Forty," a response to Donald Justice's poem "Men at Forty." Unlike Justice's poem bemoaning aging, Reising's work proclaims the joys of entering middle age when women, "Learn to fling open/The doors to rooms they thought/They'd never enter." But, of course, there are also heart-breaking portraits of tough women who spend their lives over-worked and under-appreciated, as in "Kate" and "Driving Lessons."
Throughout The Keeping, imagery, landscape, and emotion play a big role. Also, cast over all of the poems is the veil of story. Readers will most likely come away from this volume with a portrait of a person and place tucked away, for the keeping, in their memories.
