Who Cares about the Saints? #thomasmerton

June 2, 2011 By Gavin Richardson

Spent the evening checking out this series of videos by Loyola Productions titled “Who Cares about the Saints?” I’ve been massively influenced by Thomas Merton so that was an easy grab. What I love about the videos is that they not only give the positives of the persons life, but also shares the struggles or faults within the various lives of the saints of our faith.

Who Cares about the Saints? (Thomas Merton) from Loyola Productions on Vimeo.

Love the conclusion here that a very great man of God can be so flawed in ways of the world yet still devoted to a life with Christ. I think we’d all be better off if we gave ourselves some grace to not have to be perfect in our striding towards holiness.

Waking Up Our Young People

December 15, 2010 By Gavin Richardson

Ken Robinson first caught my radar some years back when TED started putting their talks online. Mitch Joel suggested Ken’s talk. I’ve used his talk in many teaching environments for youth, adults & other educations.

This RSA video is a great fusion of the visual with the oratory. It is also a different talk than what Ken gave at his TED talk, which was great to digest. The video is just over 10 mins long, but totally worth it!

Definite tip of the hat for this video to Mark Riddle.

How are we engaging the soulful creative character that is within the young people? It appears we are not doing it very well.
