Our Source for Strange Hospitality - Rev. Dr. Matthew Kaemingk

 Our Source for Strange Hospitality

How do we lead amidst deep difference?

How might our school embody both truth and grace:
  • Counter-cultural commitments?
  • Counter-cultural hospitality?

Practicing Strange Hospitality

  • The first time you try hospitality, you will be bad at it. 
  • There is a big difference between a Christian school that is centred around Christ and a Christian school that is focused on its boundaries and rules.





  • Clarity is charity

Table Politics for Our Schools

  • High Walls
  • Open Doors
  • Christ-Centred Tables


  • In what ways was God here before ***?
  • The image of God is too rich to be confined to the individual or even to the human family.


Exercise:

  • Provide some concrete examples of what it would look like for your school to be a place of both firm conviction and generous hospitality. What might that look like? Use your imagination.
  • How might Christ be calling you to abide in him and grow in him through the challenges of deep difference in this community?

What does it look like when students are enjoying a course?  The thinking process, as long as we feel confident and have support Getting the thinking and not feeling like we have to know it right away because of a test tomorrow, etc. Assignments, Desmos (activities and regular graphing calculator) Not easy because there is a lot to cover! Presentation Folder Most of the assignments in the folder should take ~4 days, so give a week or so. 1-1.5 class periods, the rest is outside of class.  Contact Ron: ron.coleborn29@gmail.com Seeking to find material that fits into both content and competency - what hits the learning standards as a whole?  Desmos:  Inserting picture and create graphs/points around that Mystery Functions - creating using piecewise functions Desmos Selfie - picture behind and create a graph pic (PreCalc 12 for transformations, could do PreCalc 11 with more simplistic functions) Example 2 Leap Frogs - Quadratics Either with counters and squares or the ...
