Notes from Fr. Watson's Principal/Pastor Meeting Presentation

Here are the notes from Fr. Watson on Sacred Story:

Greetings Dr. Haggarty:

Thank you for the opportunity to present to the principals and pastors. I am grateful it struck a cord with many people. Let me know if is any follow-up you would suggest for me.

Why Are British Kids so Happy--The Guardian (http://www.theguardian.com/commentis...-time-children)

The main book I referenced was The Shallows (http://www.nicholascarr.com/?page_id=16) by Nicholas Carr

The two other authors were SC Lewis' Screwtape Letters (http://www.amazon.com/The-Screwtape-.../dp/0060652934) and

Josef Piper's Leisure the Basis of Culture (http://www.amazon.com/Leisure-Basis-...M0RJCKVTDPPWZW)

Here are two articles on The Waldorf Schools where tech folks send thier kids:


New York Times: The Silicon Valley That Doesn't Compute (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/23/te...-can-wait.html)

The Silicon Valley School Tech Honchos Send Their Kids (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...computers.html)

If a school or principal has a subscription to TIME, there is a good short one pager on meditation for children called

A Nation of Mini-Meditators (http://time.com/3696861/a-nation-of-mini-meditators/)

AND....I have attached a brochure for our Sacred Story Youth program with hyper-links and also for the Forty Weeks program.

Blessings and I hope the rest of the meeting went great.

Peace,

Fr. Bill Watson, S.J.
