Releasing the Angel
Saluting all Who Strive to Teach
by Christopher Gleeson
This is a book for teachers and all involved in teaching. All teachers are springtime workers in trusting that the seeds they sow in their students will produce one day people who make a difference in the wider community. Releasing the Angel issues from a similar act of faith that it will prove to be a book that teachers and others might leave open on their tables and from which they might glean some occassional inspiration. Schools abound in Angels and not all of them are women or teachers! The school doctor, the head cleaner, the nurse, the canteen director, the front desk receptionist, the Principal’s secretary — these are just a few of those people in our school communities whose angelic quality connect us to God in the ordinary and the everyday of life.
