 What are you reading? What would YOUR faculty say?
The "recommended reading" for this newsletter is an article written by Mike Zimmer, NID mission facilitator, in the Concordia Sewards' Issues in Christian Education entitled: "Building Community Bridges through the Lutheran School." This article lists five factors that make up a missional faculty.
Why not download the journal from the CUNE website and then share it with your faculty. It would likely generate some good discussion. If you have "other factors," Mike would like to hear what they are!
