TWO DEFINITIONS OF TEACHING

"To teach is to create a space in which obedience to Truth is practiced." (Parker Palmer in "To Know as We are Known")
"To teach is to come alongside another in the power of the Holy Spirit to seek an encounter together with the Truth: taking aim to perceive it more clearly, consider it more clearly, consider it more critically, embrace it more passionately, obey it more faithfully, and embody it with greater integrity." (Gary Parrett in "A Many Colored Kingdom")
