[My presentation/video for this week]
This week we're going to be working with what Maria Harris calls the curriculum of diakonia. I'm especially pleased to be able to offer you a special element for this focus situation. It is a video meditation done by a friend who is a filmmaker. He has given us permission to make copies and mail this DVD to you, so by this time in the term you should have received one in the mail (if you live in St. Paul, it was probably in campus mail).
Individual work
Read Boundary Leaders: Leadership Skills for People of Faith by Gary Gunderson and take the book quiz
By Tuesday, comment on one of the group summaries (in a way that is more than simply a "verbal bouquet") or post to the full class discussion thread for the week at MyLutherNet.
On Tuesday, fill out a CIQ for the past week
