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.

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.

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.

We have learnt with sadness of the passing of Dominican Father Albert Nolan last night (October 16). Fr Albert was a world-renowned, influential theologian and author, known for his kindness, gentleness and sense of humour. Fr Albert Nolan OP (1934-2022). MHDSRIP

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

_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.
