Following Bishop Malone from last Wednesday, here’s a second podcast and video combination from the October 11th Institute. Today, we are featuring J. Michael Norman, associate director in the Office of Religious Education for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Mike was in Baltimore leading a youth ministry track ay the conference.
Listen to the podcast to learn that Mike dreams of a future where “We will finally take Renewing the Vision and do part of it that we have never done. We will really grab hold of this catechetical enterprise, see that youth ministry has been doing catechesis and
can become one of the strongest catechetical components of our church. What better ministry does the ‘aha’ moment for a young person????”
Meanwhile, here’s my fourth shot at self-producing YouTube. They are gonna get better, folks! Our office just came into possession of some new Flip videocameras. We see what a difference those make!!! And I’m learning more regarding editing as well, so get prepared to become familiar with these “bumpers.” (Anyone recognized the music yet!!!)
So, with acknowledgement that neither the audio nor the image is of the highest quality, please watch Mike as a storyteller – - who places his hands, his face, his voice, his very self all in service of the story – - – which is exactly that which is required of a good catechists. Let us place ourselves in service of The Story!
Hmm… when I listen to the music, I have this feeling of needing a baseball and a glove!

If you are thinking baseball movie. . . you are on the wrong track.
If you are thinking of passing time in the cooler, you deserve a motorcycle ride!
Ahhhhh…. clues, people! Where is the theme music from?????

The whole time I was listening I was thinking Hogan’s Heroes – but then it hit me – “The Great Escape.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYjnMfgzgcM Is there something cryptic or subconscious about that, Scott?

The banner on top of the website indicates that the revolution begins here – - thought we needed some marching music. The movie is a favorite of mine – emphasizing collaboration and imagination, high expectations, persistence and patience amidst many challenges, and world-changing optimism. Everyone shares in the risk while maybe but a few actually achieve the reward. Seems fitting for catholic youth ministry, doesn’t it?

[...] Recently, we held our Respect Life Symposium for catholic high school students. (Hopefully, later today…) As you can see, it offered a opportunity to use the new flip cameras and the video editing program mentioned previously. [...]
