At the Christian Brothers' Congregational Chapter held in Nairobi in March 2013, there was a call to a new international consciousness of and involvement in the mission and life of the congregation. For its schools throughout the world, this will mean a new spirit of collegiality and cooperation.

This marvellous little book will play a part in fostering this new spirit. Wayne Tinsey draws upon more than 35 years involvement in Catholic education to present a series of inspirational musings and reflections for all those involved in that educational endeavour.

The Edmund Rice tradition identifies four 'Touchstones' that are measures of authenticity in Catholic education. These provide the focus for the reflections, together with two further themes - the craft of teaching and young people.

Wayne Tinsey has been a teacher and educational advisor, and most recently is the Executive Director of Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA). As well as his involvement in education, he has a fierce commitment to social justice, echoed in the commitment of Edmund Rice education to the poor. These provide the themes for many of his reflections.

Much of the material in the book draws upon Wayne's letters and talks to EREA members and the educational community in general. It will provide inspiration to teachers parents and students, and all who share the dream of enriching the lives of our young people.
