  • “…curriculum…to promote the spiritual and moral development of students…for teachers of English, French, German, Mathematics and Science”

  • By Kim Essenburg at the Christian Academy in Japan

    I’m excited that one of my English 10 students wrote, ‘I have no right to choose whether I should help or not; the day I chose to follow my consistent and loving God, I threw away the option of apathy.’

  • “…help train teachers in remote areas who would then teach English to the common people...and introduce participants to Western culture”

  • "…is to equip teachers with methods and materials which will aid them in training their students to become confident and competent communicators and thinkers."

  • Kim Essenburg, Christian Academy di Japan (44 murid)

    Saya sedang bersukacita karena salah satu murid kelas English 10 saya menulis, ‘Saya tidak memiliki hak untuk memilih saya harus menolong atau tidak; Pada hari di mana saya memilih mengikuti Allahku yang konsisten dan pengasih, saya membuang pilihan keapatisan.’

    Perguntas como “Qual língua falaremos no céu?” ou “Qual é a língua dos anjos?” podem parecer engraçadas ou complexas, mas para elas só existem duas alternativas de resposta: ou será o Plattdeutsch—dialeto alemão falado especialmente pelos menonitas e que, segundo eles, leva-se uma eternidade para aprender; ou terá de ser o inglês, já que os americanos têm se mostrado incapazes de aprender um segundo idioma. Brincadeiras à parte, o fato é que a obsessão com o aprendizado de inglês chega a conferir-lhe uma aura angelical.

"The endless cycle of idea and action,
Endless invention, endless experiment,
Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness;
Knowledge of speech, but not of silence;
Knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word.
All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance,
All our ignorance brings us nearer to death,
But nearness to death no nearer to God.
Where is the Life we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
The cycles of Heaven in twenty centuries
Bring us farther from God and nearer to the Dust."

TS Eliot
