Download or read book En Comunidad written by Carla Espana and published by Heinemann Educational Books. This book was released on 2020 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book provides practical help for undoing the deficit perspective that is frequently applied to Latinx bilingual students. This deficit perspective limits educators from getting to know bilingual learners and has lasting effects on children's self-concept, socio-emotional growth and academic development. As emergent bilingual Latinx children become the majority in PK-12 schools, and as Latinx communities face increasing socio-political hostility, it is urgent that we shift to teaching practices that honor the knowledge students engage every day across different contexts. Schooling impacts how societal norms are reproduced, contested or reimagined, and the lessons, along with the pedagogical framework that we present in this book, can create that opportunity to fully embrace the ways we can connect with our students and have an impact beyond the classroom. This book offers lessons with a decolonized bilingual sustaining pedagogy approach: a culturally sustaining topic having to do with language practices, literacies, and power texts that show different ways we engage with language practices translanguaging (using all of one's linguistic repertoire, this includes different features of named languages such as Spanish and English) as the way bilingual students communicate, the way we teach, and the way we strive for social justice"--
Download or read book The Compelling Community written by Mark Dever and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The local church is meant to embody the vibrant diversity of the global church, transcending racial, cultural, and economic boundaries. Yet local churches too often simply reflect the same societal divisions prevalent in our world today—making them more akin to social clubs filled with like-minded people than the supernatural community the New Testament prescribes. Pastors Mark Dever and Jamie Dunlop argue that authentic fellowship is made up of two crucial ingredients: commitment (depth) and diversity (breadth). Theologically rooted yet extremely practical, this book sets forth basic principles that will help pastors guide their churches toward the compelling community that we all long for.

Download or read book Imagined Communities written by Benedict Anderson and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2006-11-17 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the imagined communities that compel men to kill or to die for an idea of a nation? This notion of nationhood had its origins in the founding of the Americas, but was then adopted and transformed by populist movements in nineteenth-century Europe. It became the rallying cry for anti-Imperialism as well as the abiding explanation for colonialism. In this scintillating, groundbreaking work of intellectual history Anderson explores how ideas are formed and reformulated at every level, from high politics to popular culture, and the way that they can make people do extraordinary things. In the twenty-first century, these debates on the nature of the nation state are even more urgent. As new nations rise, vying for influence, and old empires decline, we must understand who we are as a community in the face of history, and change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Kastanjesvingen, un vecindario silencioso a un paso del tumulto de la ciudad habitado por doctores, artistas y gente del mundo de la televisión, nunca pasa nada, es el tipo de lugar que todos querrían para sus hijos. Allí vive Rikke, en uno de los cuatro espaciosos pisos del complejo, con su familia: su marido Asmund y sus hijos Emma y Lukas. Sus vidas son tranquilas, armoniosas, perfectas. Pero todo cambia cuando aparece el cuerpo de uno de los vecinos, Jørgen, apuñalado en su casa. A medida que la policía investiga y la prensa acecha a los vecinos, resulta evidente que todos tenían un motivo para asesinar a Jørgen, hasta la propia Rikke, que pronto se da cuenta de lo poco que sabe realmente sobre la gente que vive a su lado. Quizás no se llevaban tan bien y quizás todos esconden algo, porque... ¿Cuánto saben realmente los unos de los otros? Vuelve la autora de La psicóloga. «Una novela negra perfecta.» Dagbladet
Download or read book Discerniendo Vocaciones al Matrimonio Celibato y Solter a written by Elias Chacour and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro es continuación de otro trabajo de los mismos autores publicado bajo el título: Llamados Por Dios: Una Reflexión Teológica en Torno a la Vocación y Compromiso de por Vida (Madrid, Editorial de Espiritualidad EDE, 1994). Desde una perspectiva relacional y evolutiva sobre el misterio de la vocación, los autores exponen en el siguiente estudio los principios de discernimiento para la vida de matrimonio cristiano, de vida célibe o de vida soltera. En la vocación al matrimonio, ven como elemento fundamental la llamada de Dios a ambos cónyuges a ser instrumento único y especialísimo en el proceso de purificaciónón y transformación espiritual del otro. Identifican la base de la vocación al celibato con una especial relación entre Jesús y la persona célibe que hace a ésta prácticamente “incasable”, “indesposable” (por así decirlo) por Cristo y por su Evangelio. Juzgan que lo propio de la vocación a la vida de soltería es el testimonio de cierta independencia por la causa del Reino. A la luz de lo que es primordial de cada vocación, los autores presentan señales que parecen indicar una llamada auténtica. Este libro puede resultar de interés no solo para quienes estén discerniendo su vocación personal, sino también para los/as guías que estén acompañándoles en este proceso.
