Produktbeschreibung
Moving beyond traditional human developmental theories, pastor and Christian education theorist Brett Webb-Mitchell uses stories and analysis to walk with readers on a road toward rediscovering an ancient Christian custom that may ultimately lead to new roads in Christian education. This important work encapsulates a new understanding of faith development in the context of pilgrimage and examines how traditional human developmental theories have been used to categorize individuals instead of celebrating their unique characteristics, which reflect their creation in the image of God. Webb-Mitchell puts forth a challenge to the church to work toward a broader educational mission to be a community of Christ's pilgrim people, in which change and growth are discussed in the rhetoric and practice of pilgrimage.
Autorenporträt
Brett Webb-Mitchell is interested in the place and presence of all people at God's banquet feast, including people with disabilities. An ordained clergyperson in the Presbyterian Church (USA), he has served the church as a pastor, a chaplain, and a seminary professor at Duke Divinity School. Currently he is the director of the School of the Pilgrim (http://www.schoolofthepilgrim.com), a teaching ministry that takes people on actual pilgrimages around the world to enable them to discover the pilgrimage they are on at home. He is the author of various books advocating the full inclusion in the church of people with disabilities. These include God Plays Piano Too, Dancing with Disabilities, and the soon-to-be-published Beyond the Ramp.
