It provides book reviews, lesson plans, and ideas for ministry created by faculty and students at Union-PSCE. There is also a blog component that allows users to interact with the topics by making comments and asking questions. The project creates a venue to share resources for ministry created by the seminary’s Christian education faculty and students with congregations.
The idea for this online resource grew out of a course on Using Children’s and Adolescent Literature in the Church offered at Union-PSCE in Charlotte. Taught by Pamela Mitchell-Legg; Sarah Belk Gambrell, professor of Christian Education; and Rebecca Davis, adjunct professor of Christian education, the course helped future church educators connect the reading of children’s literature with telling the Biblical story. Book reviews and lesson plans written for the course are now part of the content on the Web site.
This Web site is a cooperative effort, with support from the William Smith Morton Library and the Center for Ministry and Leadership Development at Union-PSCE.
Union-PSCE offers graduate degree programs on campuses in Richmond, Va., and Charlotte, N.C., to prepare men and women for Christian ministries. Founded in 1812, it is one of ten theological seminaries of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A.
