We appreciate your message. The great thing about the Assett Approach and LOGOS is that it not only is a spiritual connection but also a practical one. Building the assets can make a difference here and now in preventing at risk behavior and provide for the spiritual nurture and well being of the individual. Blessings, Tom Gene,

Greetings from Search Institute. We have long been pleased with the way LOGOS has utilized the Developmental Assets, and we appreciate the great stories and examples shared here. Keep up the great work. Some folks may be interested in our new work that complements asset building. It focuses on spiritual development in a global context. You can check in on what we're doing at www.spiritualdevelopmentcenter.org. Best wishes to all! Gene I happened upon this posting while cruising around the Web. Greetings from Search Institute.

In a church, ultimately every person there has a responsibility to serve as an "othermother" and raise up the children in their midst.

Solid relationships are build over time...not as one-time events. The literature on contemplative ministry encourages us to "be with" the kids through the thick and thin of life - consistency over time.

It is so true! I think that great things happen when children are in a position to develop deep relationships with adults who can guide them spiritually. In our Sunday school we have shepherd roles in a Rotation Model. The shepherds spend the entire year with the same kids building relationships and helping them on their spiritual development journey.

Seriously, we must not continue to push kids off to the side, give them too much autonomy, or let them raise themselves. We must get involved with them substantively and stay involved...we are not their friends, we are their parents and their mentors - leading them through word and deed.
