People are looking from within a clock tower out through the clock at the city's horizon. By looking from the inside of time, out, the image conveys that this guide is about our role as Evolutionaries in changing how we perceive time.

Give Me That NEW Time Religion

A clock spiraling in on itself is the image on the cover of this Leader's Guide for the teaching Unit from ZinnHouse called Give Me That New Time Religion. LESSONS. Do your children understand what’s behind our world’s religious and secular calendars? Ever wonder how religion, community, identity, and TIME are interwoven? These are some of the questions raised in GIVE ME THAT NEW TIME RELIGION, an intentional reference to the gospel hymn, Give Me That OLD Time Religion. Journey through different ways of experiencing time with your children —from dominant linear to ancient cyclical to the emerging spiral. Engage youth in developing their own theories. My students had a great time with this unit. I think yours will, too!

The Learning objectives of this unit include the ability to recognize different religion's calendars for keeping time and to compare the linear views among religions and secular society. But this is the segue to thinking deeper about the relationship between time and values and how we experience and express them respectively. In turn, the program invites participants to consider new ways of experiencing time and expressing values. Parents can tailor the program for all ages. Comes with 2 Guides — Leaders and Participants.

Great job. I wish you were my teacher. I could not imagine how you’d make ‘time’ interesting to students — I was fascinated. L. Passmore, IT Consultant
