I endorsed a new book, Diversity Matters edited by Karen A. Longman. It is a great book which deals with the important issue of diversity in higher education.

This is a helpful book for anyone in higher education as well as those concerned with diversity in school and workplace.

My son is organizing a non-profit organization with his friends called, “We Must Be Heard”. 

Their mission is “to empower teens around the world to be heard through social media and activism. Teens today have the largest voice that has ever been possible, being that a single tweet can reach millions of eyes in nanoseconds. We want to know how teens, like you, use their social media and what platforms they use. Our goal is to make it possible for our generation to make a real impact in the world by having our voices heard through social media.”

This is my latest post for “Feminist Studies in Religion” blog.  As we send our children back to school and in light of the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington, let us ponder again about racism.

My three kids went back to school a few weeks ago. Now I can’t get the song, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” out of my head, and it isn’t even Christmas!

Getting up at 3:30 a.m. to get to the airport by 4:30 a.m. is never fun.  But it was for a Fund for Theological Education (FTE) Alumni consultation meeting; so I felt alright about compromising my sleeping hours. The FTE Alumni consultation was held at Chicago Temple-United Methodist Church at 9 a.m. on Friday November 16, 2012.
