Children Together

Education within the Church and within the family is the only way to change old patterns and smash cultural stereotypes. Reid and Hawkley reexamine God's message of love for all people through the lens of Scripture. Children Together will help the church teach children about inequality and discrimination and help children learn to value themselves and others for who they are. Each age-appropriate lesson covers topics such as learning to work together, exploring individual potential, media and stereotypes, and sexual harassment. This resource will be a welcome addition to parents, pastors as teachers, Christian educators, and those who do ministry with children. Kathryn Goering Reid is pastor of Austin Mennonite Church and executive director of the Texas Homeless Network. She is the author of Preventing Child Sexual Abuse: Ages 5-8 and Preventing Child Sexual Abuse: Ages 9-12 with Marie Fortune, United Church Press 1994 and 1989. Ken Hawkley is the director of adult and young adult education for The General Conference of the Mennonite Church.
