I hope you don't mind me mentioning this but have you thought about moving? You could always go to another country and teach. Here in Canada, we are desperate for teachers who are willing to move to reservations. Maybe you could look abroad? Africa? UK?

Cheers and hope it works out,

What books have inspired you the most?

Welcome Kendra-If this site does for you what it does for me I think you'll  find it to be a safe place to grow spiritually.  I also like to read and enjoyed "the Simple Faith of Mister Rogers" by Amy Hollingsworth.

I really wanted to order that book! I think Mr. Rogers was just so nice and inspiring. He and Mr. Dressup (Canada's Mr. Rogers) led me to work with children. I didn't realized that Mr. Rogers was also a presbyterian minister until I read a little more about him recently. I wonder how he felt about television these days. I really miss having someone like them both on television. I have a four year old and we sit and watch both shows. I wonder if there will be any shows that can match up to what they taught? We need better tv for kids, sigh... I miss The Cosby show and like shows.

Hi everyone, my name is Kendra and I am new here. I am definitely a progressive christian and am also interested in Buddhism. Can the two mix well?

I have been without a home church for some time since leaving the local Unitarian Universalist church. I found them to be a little less progressive than I had hoped and found that particular church to have major humanist leanings without being open to Christianity.

I have been attending a Presbyterian church and am really enjoying it. I plan on taking my daughter to start the children's class this sunday. My daughter is 4 and I am married to a humanist/buddhist. He plans on attending with me.

I love reading all kinds of books and am reading "You are Special" by Mr. Rogers. What a great man! I am also reading my other favorite kind of book, a British Mystery, the title escapes me.

Anyways, thats the basics.

Cheers,

Kendra
