Vida de John Woolman

HabĆ­a un gran interĆ©s en mi mente en no ocupar mi tiempo con relaciĆ³n a las cosas externas, de tal manera que nada me impidiera tener la fiel atenciĆ³n a la voz del Pastor Verdadero. ā€”El diario de John Woolman, 1743, p.18

Este currĆ­culo es el resultado de una preocupaciĆ³n de varios Amigos del Ć”rea de los Estados Nueva Jersey y Pensilvania, acerca del cĆ³mo deberĆ­a presentarse la vida de John Woolman en la escuela dominical para los niƱos (pre-kinder al 8vo grado) en una forma interesante y memorable

En cinco capƭtulos ellos han capturado la esencia de la vida de este CuƔquero gentil quien fue guidado por el espƭritu de Dios:

  1. La vida temprana de John Woolman
  2. La obra realizada por John Woolman en contra la esclavitud
  3. El trabajo realizado de John Woolman a favor de los nativos norte americanos.
  4. John Woolman y la naturaleza
  5. John Woolman y la simplicidad

El currĆ­culo estĆ” diseƱado para ser usado durante cinco o mĆ”s dĆ­as consecutivos en la escuela dominical. Cada lecciĆ³n empieza con la informaciĆ³n de los antecedentes para el profesor seguida de una historia, la cual puede ser leĆ­da o contada; y luego, al final de cada lecciĆ³n hay una serie de preguntas para recapitular la historia o para iniciar una conversaciĆ³n grupal. Los maestros pueden escoger esas preguntas dependiendo de la edad de su clase (pre kĆ­nder y kĆ­nder: 1ro y 2do; 3ro a 5to; y 6to-8vo grado). A continuaciĆ³n, se presentan muchas actividades para ilustrar el tema de la lecciĆ³n son presentadas, con el mismo grupo de nivel de edad. Si las clases tienen grupos diversos (de kĆ­nder ā€“ 8vo), hay una o dos actividades en cada lecciĆ³n que puede ser usado para este tipo de clase.

EnseƱar este currĆ­culo es una excelente forma de aprender acerca de este Amigo extraordinario quien podĆ­a convencer a otros de una manera gentil y profundamente centrada, cara a cara y uno por uno por medio de su vida ejemplar. Leer las selecciones del diario de Woolman sugeridas nos darĆ” inspirantes antecedentes de primera mano para cada lecciĆ³n. El diario de John Woolman es considerado uno de los grandes clĆ”sicos de la literatura devocional inglesa. EstĆ” incluida en los clĆ”sicos de Harvard, y es la Ćŗnica pieza de literatura americana colonial que se continĆŗa imprimiendo hoy en dĆ­a. La referencia de nĆŗmero de pĆ”gina en este texto son hasta 1971, ediciĆ³n Whitter; muchas otras ediciones estĆ”n disponibles. La biblioteca de la Junta Anual de Filadelfia tiene numerosas copias.

Los Amigos quienes sintieron escribir el currĆ­culo sobre la vida John Woolman son: Al y Su Thorpe, Miriam schaefer, Doris Pulone, y Lynn Sinclair. Martha G. Smith directora de la educaciĆ³n religiosa de la Juntas Anuales de Filadelfia, editĆ³ el currĆ­culo; Martha C. Haires colaborĆ³ con el diseƱo grĆ”fico e transcribiĆ³ la versiĆ³n original del currĆ­culo de 1994. Mary Anne Crowley trabajĆ³ en el diseƱo grĆ”fico y transcribiĆ³ esta ediciĆ³n corregida.
