Soul Sunday: A Family's Guide to Exploring Faith and Teaching Tolerance - Tapa blanda

Soul Sunday offers parents, grandparents and educators a creative approach to teach kids cultural understanding and religious tolerance.

· When and how does a family find time for faith? · How do you explore spirituality at home in a fun, creative way? · How do parents or grandparents open children’s minds and hearts? · When and how do you discuss diversity and tolerance with your children in a healthy, constructive format? Realizing that her family’s spirituality and faith were taking a back seat to play dates, schoolwork, and activities, Carrie Brown-Wolf took action. She and her husband, Dan, created a family forum, a time set aside each week for an hour of religious and cultural exploration that includes play. The family coined it Soul Sunday. Carrie developed a unique concept for providing a thought-provoking and non-threatening environment in which family members—even the youngest—are encouraged to interact and speak out. There they gain an understanding of diversity, tolerance, and a stronger belief in themselves and of each other. Now other parents can follow Carrie’s methods and create their own time and space for Soul Sunday by using the guidelines and Playshops included in this book. Soul Sunday gets the whole family involved. Young children and teens alike will find activities such as Lovely Lunar Lanterns and Ramadan Revelry both entertaining and stimulating. While they are discussing and learning about diverse cultures and religions, they are building character, self-confidence, ethics, morals, and faith. A tall order, a simple solution.The world is rapidly becoming more interdependent, and yet we know so little about each other’s beliefs and religious customs. Soul Sunday helps prepare our children to face tomorrow confidently, securely, and with an open heart.
