Good to see our Methodist from the religious education department on the jury. The contest name “For the Moral Feat of the Teacher” fits what a lot of our catechists actually do day in and day out. Hope the kids’ projects from Orenburg turn out strong.

Alejandro Romero

I am glad that our Methodist from the religious education department is part of the jury. The name of the competition “For the moral feat of the teacher” fits well with the daily work of catechists, as Michael says. I hope the projects of the Orenburg children turn out well.

Rubén Romero

I am also glad that our Methodist is on the jury, Alejandro. The name of the contest does reflect well what we do every day in catechism with the kids. Have you seen any specific projects in Orenburg that caught your attention?

Fernando García

I'm glad you see it that way, Alejandro. The name of the contest does fit with the daily life of catechists, as you say. Do you know if our Methodist has already commented on the work she has seen in Orenburg?

Ana López

I'm glad you mentioned it, Alejandro. The contest does fit with the quiet effort of so many catechists who prepare classes with the kids every week. Do you think any Orenburg project could be adapted to our parishes here?

Alejandro Romero

I'm glad you said it, Rubén. The name of the contest fits perfectly with what we do on Wednesday afternoons in the parish, when the kids put down their cell phones and start really asking questions. From Orenburg I liked the project of a teacher who used the school garden to explain the parable of the sower; simple and very from here. Have you read any more?

Diego Martínez

Yes, I loved that one in the school garden too, Alejandro. So concrete that kids understand it instantly and then see it in their own plants. Last Wednesday I asked them to bring a seed from home and tell them what care it needs; A very good talk about patience came out. What other project caught your attention?

Andrew Turner

Yes, she’s been quietly helping with teacher training for years, so it makes sense they asked her. The “moral feat” bit does ring true for what our catechists put in each week. Did you catch any of the Orenburg entries last year?

Lucía Romero

Yes, the name of the contest fits perfectly with what we do in catechism. I liked the detail that the Methodist is from here, so we can find out firsthand which projects make it to the finals. Rubén, have you tried something similar to that garden in your group of kids?
