Grace Millennium presents a shifting paradigm in which
the art, writings and shared experiences of women reveal the transformational
power of grace in these challenging times.
After four and a half years, the next issue (spring 2001) will be my last
print edition.
Articles explore the heart and joy of teaching
and learning through stories and interviews of teachers in public,
private and charter schools along with those teaching special programs
for drama, poetry and entrepreneurial enterprises. We also talk to
children about their educational experiences past and present, explore
special functions of the human heart, bonding, the healing value of
plants and gardens, street counseling, cross-cultural adoption, child-raising
and the power of ancestral influences. Finally we explore the dangers
of vaccines and mind-altering prescription medications for children.
In this double issue artist Moma De Louvre shares paintings of the
light of the child.
