Minneapolis Public Schools is proposing to turn upside down all 60 schools in the district with its Comprehensive District Design. I'm asking them to not do this to 31,000 students without a coherent plan. The board vote is May 12. @MPS_News @KidsFirstMPLS andyrowell.net/andy_rowell/20…
I'm afraid the CDD will be a disaster.

I have added my notes and summary from tonight's town hall with Minneapolis Northside school board member KerryJo Felder to the end of my post: andyrowell.net/andy_rowell/20…
As expected the school board for the Minneapolis Public Schools passed the Comprehensive District Design tonight 6-3. I think the fall of 2021 will be a huge mess with all sixty schools starting over. But a number of us tried to speak up and warn them.

"Leadership" is often an incoherent field of study. Often it's anecdotal. "Here's what I did to ... win the game ... make a lot of money ... win the war ... win an election."
But below I sketch a few conceptual foundations of Leadership and note their practical value. 👇
Properly, Leadership is a subdiscipline of Ethics (how to live well), which is a subdiscipline of Philosophy.
Within Christianity, Leadership is also properly a subdiscipline of Ethics (how to live well with the presupposition God has spoken in Scripture and in Jesus Christ), which is a subdiscipline of Theology.

- 79% of Americans are comfortable with a female pastor, but only 39% of evangelicals.
- 72.8% of evangelicals are fine with a woman preaching on Sunday morning.
- 3% of evangelical congregations and 30% of mainline congregations have a female senior pastor.

See sources below.
According to a 2016 Barna survey,
79% of Americans would be comfortable with a female priest or pastor.

But only 39% of evangelicals would be.
Only 13.5% of U.S. congregations in 2018-2019 had a female as the head or senior clergyperson.
Or slicing the data differently, only 7.4% of U.S. attendees attend a congregation with a female as the head or senior clergyperson.

Thread of comments on books from 2019-2021 on women and Christianity. They are all worth reading.
Books on: famous women leaders, practical support for women, biblical description, history of masculine militarism, bad sex in Christian marriages, and the history of patriarchy.

These pieces are revealing. For them, Christianity is using any means necessary to rally people to make America more like 1980's white Christianity. It is not humbly reading the Bible together so as to learn how to act like Jesus.
,
They did in their youth read the Bible and became convinced about what it was saying to American culture. And now they are in a position of power to rally people to that. But did we stop reading the Bible afresh? Is Christian political coercion of non-Christians the right goal?
Is not the political witness of Christians primarily one of example, of love, of integrity, and sharing of the hope that there is a God who is bringing a kingdom of love? Yes, advocate in the public sphere for the common good. Be salt and light. But still act like Jesus!
