- I cannot get past the visceral reaction that I have to any training by the person that the Journey has contracted. I did some research and I learned that the trainer has a recent LMFT, nothing in the Christian Education or education field. I know from past experience that she has been involved in a "false theology" of the so-called prosperity gospel (although she and some proponents have repented of it as recently as 4 years ago). I also researched the two practices used in her counseling center; one is not evidence-based, although the primary founder of the practice claimed some pre- and post- anecdotal benefits, and the other is specifically for children and parents/caregivers--not in the classroom. I guess, upon reflection on these factors, my visceral response might be valid.
- I also have a problem with the proposal or at least the consideration of The Gospel Project curriculum, which is published and sold by Lifeway--which is a branch of the Southern Baptist Convention. The SBC has been a major and central part of the "white evangelical" movement in Christianity, with coverup of sexual abuse and support of racist and radical Republicans.
So the question I need an answer for is this: How do I explain this graciously to the Children's Ministry Director? Help, please!
