KTEP provides a four week professional development program of active learning for middle school and high school teachers of English from Kangwon-do, Alberta’s sister province in Korea. Similarly we hosted a group of Japanese teachers within the Hokkaido Teachers of English Program (HTEP). The first graduates of the Master of Education in Educational Studies (MES) program crossed the stage at the June convocation ceremonies. The MES program is an alternative delivery graduate program for working professionals and offers three strands of specialization focusing on leadership, educational improvement and site-based research. The program has met with great success and we plan on adding a 4th stream in the next year. By the time you read this, Reunion Weekend 2006 will have come and gone and planning will already be underway for 2007. As you may know, Reunion 2008 will mark the university’s 100th birthday and all alumni are invited to come back to campus for this milestone celebra- tion. We’d love to see you. I hope you will enjoy the fall edition of the Orange and that it fosters a sense of connection to, and pride in, the Faculty of Education. Indeed we have much of which to be proud. I encourage you to stay in touch and to come back and see us when you can.

Boe the chester ronning centre for the study of religion and public life THE CHESTER RONNING CENTRE FOR THE STUDY OF RELIGION AND PUBLIC LIFE augustana campus, university of alberta OUR PURPOSE To cultivate a deeper understanding of issues and themes at the intersection of religion, faith, and public life and to do so in the academy, in the public forum, and in religious communities. OUR MISSION To establish a hospitable ambience in which women and men of faith and of social concern are encouraged to join in a continuing conversation on the relationship between religion and public life. OUR GOAL To focus and inform the thinking of all who deal with issues and themes where religious faith and public life intersect, and to enhance public com­ prehension and religious understanding on these subjects. We will do this through promoting • interdisciplinary research, meetings, and publications that foster an active community of discourse among scholars and public intellectuals on issues that arise where religion and public life come into contact; • ethical reflection that draws on religious as well as secular sources in addressing such themes as human rights, our care for the life of the world, and our appreciation of di:erences among cultures; • understanding among public figures of the broad significance of religious perspectives for the shaping of public policy; and • awareness within religious communities of the fragile and complex nature of the public sphere in a pluralistic world.

  • Chester Ronning Centre Events/Publications
    1 July 2014 – 30 June 2015 Augustana Campus, University of Alberta This year at the Chester Ronning Centre for the Study of Religion and Public Life (CRC) we offered and joined with various partners in almost two hundred events working across the academy, the public square, and within religious communities. Our work continued with our partners in Turkey as we plan to explore the varieties of the secular and the shape of public religion in various countries. A particular pleasure has been the work to reshape our website, bring a decade of audio and video recordings into a robust “Topics” area, and develop the Ronning Centre International Fellows initiative, making some twenty fine public intellectuals readily available to journalists and others. We invite you to visit our new website and have a look and to make use of the resources through it for ongoing education including study groups you may be associated with. Highlights of the past year are difficult to choose. So many generous women and men have come and engaged in our work. Each has enlarged our thinking and deepened our ability to address many of the demanding issues we face locally, nationally and internationally. Let me mention a few. Rev. Dr. Salim Munayer, through a series of lectures on “who owns the land” opened the minds and hearts of many to the enormous challenges facing Israel and Palestine. Similarly, our Junior Fellows, along with other students, helped shape the conference “Respecting the Land: Transitions to a New Economy”. The Augustana Distinguished Lectures by Rev. Dr. John Chryssavgis, Archdeacon of the Ecumenical Patriarchate (published under the title, Three Perspectives on the Sacred, Healing Wisdom from the Desert, the Mountain, and the Cosmos) invited us to think deeply about the way we live and how we are capable of living in a deeper union with all the gifts of our fragile and beautiful world.
