A brief discussion of the portfolio process.
7 December 2009 / Our daily bread
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 (Adán Medrano) who is a filmmaker. In addition to the video meditation, we will also be engaging this curriculum study guide, which was produced by the Colorado Council of Churches.
I have several ideas in mind for what you might glean from this focus situation, but more generally I want you to take note of the increasing number of migrant workers in our midst. Many of you will find yourselves serving in rural parishes, and in the rural context more and more of our churches (irregardless of denomination) are needing to learn what it means to be an inter-cultural community. Any of you who have heard Bishop Stephen Ullestad speak recently (he was on campus, as well as in several other ELCA meetings) will be aware of the challenges ELCA churches are facing in northern Iowa with the Postville ICE raid. But northern Iowa is not alone, or even particularly unique.
In thinking about "diakoinia" I want us to think this week about hospitality and service, and about what that might mean, could mean, in the context of immigration issues. That should lead us directly into the challenges of "boundary leadership" (to use Gunderson's term), as well as to thinking about religious education as an adaptive challenge, rather than a technical one.

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 two special elements to this focus situation. First, a video 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).
