IONS' Multi-Media Producer, Kelly Durkin will be the host for this teleseminar with guests Elizabeth Miller, Worldview Literacy Educator, and Matthew Davis, Educational Philosopher and Student of Theology.  During the past several months, Elizabeth Miller and Matthew Davis have had the opportunity to conduct pilots of the Worldview Literacy, Seeds of Change program.
