The talk to 7th graders at the non-denominational school up north of L.A. went very well.
The kids were engaged.
The teacher was pleased.
The school chaplain was pleased.
They’re talking about having me back in the future, including possibly speaking to the whole school instead of just individual classes, as I did today.
MUCH obliged for the prayers, folks!
(P.S. Someone asked how this situation came up: Basically, the school has a 30% Catholic student body and is making a good faith effort to not present a biased view of history. The parents of one of the Catholic students in the school arranged for me to come up and give the talks to the 7th grade history classes to help ensure balance. Compliments to them for being so on-the-job and making this happen!)
What denomination is this school?
Not only compliments to the Catholic parents who insisted on balance, but also to the rest of the parents open it.
So, please tell us, how *did* you weave your way through that minefield? Please give us a brief outline of your presentation.
Echo Sean Gallagher’s request. I’m almost suspicious, given that everyone seemed so pleased with your talk. It’s impossible to please everybody.
Nice job Jimmy!
Good work! Now, about that world hunger thing…
I understand there are some Palestinians and Israelis who could use your help!
Awesome! That’s so great to hear everything went well.
That’s terrific that parents of one of the catholic children managed to get you to come up.
Hopefully you cleared up any of the misconceptions the protestant children may have had.
Kudos Jimmy!!
