Bat
Kol Institute
This
international association of Christian women and men committed
to study the Word of God within its Jewish context, using
Jewish sources, has revised its educational program. They
are no longer just Masters level, just in Jerusalem (although
that option remains).
Bat
Kol is looking to establish a series of retreats and workshops
in Ontario that serve the needs of Ontario Catholic school
teachers. They have a very well-designed framework within
which you can create a custom workshop to help deepen
your teachers’ knowledge of the scripture stories
at any grade level. www.batkol.info
The
Institute is in a position to be very creative (and flexible)
with its fee structure as it develops this new teaching
paradigm. If you are planning PD in the area of scripture:
Contact Patricia O’Reilly poreilly@oise.utoronto.ca
Or Glenn Edward Witmer, President, Bat Kol Institute,
