#8 made me think of my teen blog noquestionleftbehind.blogspot.com. We tackled the how to the questions of non-Catholics recently.
Hi maureen, that's a very interesting blog that you have written. Would like to know which country you are from?
I'm from the U.S. Michigan to be exact. The teens who answer the questions are from Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Wow, that's incredible. How did you manage to get the kids to go and research on these type of stuffs?
I begged :-). No, really we all had fun doing it. I lead a teen group and asked who would like to participate. More kids said no than yes, but the ones who said yes were very enthusiastic. I let them pick which questions they wanted to answer. I didn't force anything on anyone and instead let the Holy Spirit work through them.
And we're continuing the work -- I've added three more teens to the team to answer questions we're currently getting through the blog. If you read the kids' bios you'll see that some of them comment on what a good experience it was for them to answer all these questions. They put a lot of prayer, time, and research into it and that can be very rewarding.
I homeschool, so for my son Christian I counted the No Question Left Behind work as his religion studies for the year. He got an A. :-)
Haha. That's fun. Could be something we could maybe work on over here in Singapore. Could we exchange emails so that I could get back to you for any suggestions or advice? Mine is joachim_liu@yahoo.com.
I'm emailing you right now. It'll start with mwittlans in case it gets caught in your spam filter.
