Malaysia Baptist Theological Seminary in Penang. Air Asia and a shared cab brought me here at 1pm. The room is large and for two persons but I asked for a single room and there were none left, so they gave me this double room with a million dollar view from Batu Ferringhi. The AGST MTh(Ed) module I am attending is titled “Curriculum Design and Development in a Christian Faith Community”. In the three quarters- filled plane, I was speed-reading a borrowed book, “Mapping Out Curriculum In Your Church”, and once I settled in, I continued till I finished it at about 6pm. Having a phone camera is useful as I could take pics of some of the useful and more important charts and tables in the book.
Now it is close to 12midnight. I have had my dinner at the street hawker’s and it was cheap and delicious. I had met up with a new student, a mature Singapore pastor who had just joined the program(Welcome to the club of seniors in life long learning!). I had bathed and made sure all my pre-course work had been done. I feel tired and done for the day. Lord, may I awake completely refreshed and energized for the packed days ahead.
I’m curious what did you think of our book?
Hi Karen, Everybody loved it and used it. It’s the must book to have on Christian curriculum. We also loved Maria Harris’ ‘”Fashion Me A People”.
Thanks Kenny. You took a step further to interact with one of the authors of the book.
Hi Karen, we are a group of ThM (CE) and EdD students in Asia. The book is one of the reading materials used for a module “Curriculum Design and Development” which I recently did with them. One thing I like about it is that the book is integrative and formative. It provides the basics for beginners to understand curriculum matters in Christian Education.
