As a fitting follow-up to yesterday’s post about the book on Christian school Board leadership, I want to make you aware of a new blogging venture on Reformed education. Rick Mingerink, administrator at Adams Christian School, has started a blog on this subject with the sub-title “Thinking about the Calvinist day-school”. This is how Rick introduces his blog in his first post:
In 2009, I started a running commentary on various matters and issues that pertain to Reformed education. For two and a half years, I filled the back of Adams’ Monday Note with my thoughts, concerns and ideas in regards to education in the Calvinist day-school.
I’m looking forward to using a new format for my thoughts. The blog is ideal for an activity such as this. Among other conveniences, it also allows others to respond. For me, that is important. Whether you challenge my thoughts or you encourage them, I would be appreciative if you contributed your own thinking.
One of the biggest threats to Reformed education is not thinking about it.
His most recent posts concern the educational views of Rev.Herman Hoeksema in a sermon he preached in 1916 on Deut.6:7, when he was still a minister in the Christian Reformed Church (later published in The Standard Bearer, 1927). I encourage you to check out Rick’s blog, support and encourage him by subscribing to it, and begin following these interesting and informative posts on Reformed education.
We must think about it! And talk about! Thanks, Rick, for continuing the conversation in this powerful way!
P.S. Thanks to those who responded to my post on Christian school Boards yesterday too. If you haven’t checked out the comments yet, do so. Three people – all involved in Christian education at different levels and ways – left helpful notes that are of benefit to all of us.
