Abstract
plus others, Webb-Mitchell identifies and explores his central thesis which is that "the church is education."Says the author: "the church in its entirety is a school of Christian discipleship, a place and a people created and called by God, infused with the Holy Spirit, where we are to learn Christ, to follow Christ, and to be more like Christ in our daily lives."(1-2)Webb-Mitchell notes that: "Being members of Christ's body, we are each called to perform the gospel, literally the Good News, with what I would like to call Christly gestures.Performing gestures of faith in Christ's name is to follow, imitate, and participate in the 'Jesus-life,' in which every one of our words and deeds is an action of our bodies, hearts, and minds, as we are infused by the power of the Holy Spirit to love one another as we love and serve God in Christ.When our lives are shaped according to God's will and Christ's way in the body of Christ, then our gestures may be instruments of God's gift of grace through faith, which is to incarnate Christ in our very lives."(2) Many Christian educators, both within the Roman Catholic Church and Protestant churches, have debated the nature, the direction, the place and the practices of Christian education, struggling with the tensions between the "schooling-instructional paradigm" and the ecclesial model which sees the church in its entirety involved in the formative processes of becoming Christian disciples.Webb-Mitchell, in the writing of this book, is identifying and adding his voice to these important conversations.He speaks of the contents of the book as being in the style of Luther's Tischreden, an "open table discussion of what is wrong with Christian education.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
