WORKSHOP – The Rabbi, the Minister, and the Priest

$25.00

by Pat Lukens

The Rabbi, the Minister, and the Priest provides an exciting and interesting view of the religions in your community. We lay the groundwork so you can promote understanding and cooperation between neighboring faiths. Participants prepare interview questions and then dialogue with local clergy in a lively round robin setting. Participants are sure to leave talking and thinking about new ideas. Here are some participant reflections:

  • “I was so surprised at the liberal views of the priest. My view of Catholicism has changed.”
  • “I was surprised at how many similarities exist between Christianity and Judaism. It makes the history of anti-Semitism surprising.”
  • “Now I understand why non-Jews don’t read and lift the Torah.”

Materials are delivered electronically. Print the lesson plans for yourself and your staff. Use our publicity flyer to e-mail to families. Printable worksheets ease your preparations for the day of the program, and a short evaluation form will give you valuable feedback. This workshop provides a great framework for middle school students and parents to interact with your local clergy. The A-to-Z workshop will help you put everything in place easily for a meaningful, rich day of discussion and sharing. As your off-site family educator, we make this so easy for you!
