James K.A. Smith on Liturgy
“What are the students doing when they recite this each day? Many will just be ‘going through the motions.’ However, given that we are liturgical animals who are deeply shaped by practices, I’m suggesting that a lot can happen when one just goes through the motions.

What begins as a merely stated commitment begins to work itself into a functional commitment.”
Danny is a credentialed social science teacher in California, but is especially interested in students with special education (always the person first and the disability second).

Please know that his thoughts are always forming and are subject to change at a moment's notice.
