Resources for Christian Education
Prophetic and Transformative
The following directories are excellent resources for any Religious Educator (e.g., "Christian Educator," rabbi, youth pastor, religious education committee chairpersons, religious education teachers, etc.) participating in prophetic churches that celebrate the full participation of all people, without regard to sexual orientation or gender identity. No curriculum can provide love and care, but these resources will provide more options for Religious Educators, as they seek to proclaim justice, reveal wisdom, and facilitate the transformation of individuals and communities.
