“It kind of seems like violence IS the answer in the Bible.”

Even though we don't officially have a #HouseOfRepresentatives yet, sign @JRSusa's most recent petition so the House will know to #StandWithRefugees when they get around to governing.

Take Action for Refugees in the 118th Congress https://t.co/QHE4ZFTvFP

[Mr. Cappy Russell @GPrepRussell]

Plenty good room for some more signatures on @JRSusa's petition to the new Congress. #StandWithRefugees and sign today.

Amongst their MANY other failings, @FIFAWorldCup really didn’t think through how disruptive a November international #soccer tournament would be to a multinational boarding school the week of the #Thanksgiving holiday. #FIFAWorldCup

Back in @GeorgetownPrep’s Figge Theater for #AChristmasCarol. Should be some enthusiastic laughing and clapping from the front row.

[Mr. Cappy Russell @GPrepRussell]

Which of these student insights from today’s #Harkness is the best comparison for the Wilderness Generation in Exodus?

[Mr. Cappy Russell @GPrepRussell]

Just came out of an Advisory period, talking to students about being "committed to doing justice."

Lucky for me @GiuliaMcPherson and @JRSusa have teed up this way to back up my big talk with some #advocacy.

Note to self: Add a “Tedium” column to the next group project #rubric. 🤔

Such a loss!

Fr. Nolan's _Jesus Before Christianity_ was and is critical to my theological understanding and imagination. It was a gift to read it and an honor to have taught it.

#RestInPeace, Fr. Nolan.

[The Southern Cross @ScrossZA]

We have learnt with sadness of the passing of Dominican Father Albert Nolan last night (October 16). Fr Albert was a world-renowned, influential theologian and author, known for his kindness, gentleness and sense of humour. Fr Albert Nolan OP (1934-2022). MHDSRIP

"Can an experience of public school and college centered on standardized exams offer a sense of intellectual agency and vitality that leads to freedom and empowerment?"

Such a compelling question from @anndaraabrams for all teachers, but a particular alarm for #Jesuit schools!

AP has changed. Florida’s fandom proves it. https://t.co/DBbgMiqrD4

[Mr. Cappy Russell @GPrepRussell]

Definitely just had a student lead his partners in a prayerful reading of Psalm 23 before commencing work on today’s group project. I’m either doing everything big right or loud wrong.

Step 1: Hang @SeattleU banner in the classroom.

Step 2: ???

Step 3: Watch dozens of @GeorgetownPrep students make the premiere #Jesuit school on the West Coast their college choice.

[Mr. Cappy Russell @GPrepRussell]

Boy, are these folks going to be disappointed to learn that the Israelites were mostly a ragtag group of dispossessed Canaanites and not a heroic conquering army.

You know, Timothy. Based on 1 Tim. 2:8-15, you might be right!

September is #SuicidePreventionAwarenessMonth.
Before we close it out, remember that you are loved by so many people - family, friends, teachers, neighbors, Starbucks baristas, etc. - who would miss you if you were gone and are here to listen if you're feeling low.

[Mr. Cappy Russell @GPrepRussell]

Want some thought-provoking insights into the Genesis Primeval Narratives? Just go ask some 15-year-olds like I did in today's #Harkness discussions.

[Mr. Cappy Russell @GPrepRussell]

A worthy addition to the fleet after the Vulture destroyed that other one while fighting #SpiderMan!

I have decided this is not proof-texting in the way some other people quote from #Leviticus, because this quote is part of much broader biblical theme.

[Mr. Cappy Russell @GPrepRussell]

First #Harkness of the year on the Genesis creation stories.

Check out the wisdom my students unearthed - no thanks to their teacher, who always learns so much from them.

_What Happened at Vatican II_ is brilliant. Especially in our contemporary moment, where so many American Catholics are debating whether the council even happened, it is a must-read sketch of the work done behind the scenes to bring real change.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

When people ask what to read first by John O'Malley, SJ, who died this week at 95, it's hard to answer! Usually I point to his superb books "The First Jesuits" and "What Happened at Vatican II."

But there are many great articles at @americamag as well! Here are three:
