Extending Living Wisdom

Teaching While Queer began as a podcast in 2022 and evolved into a not-for-profit organization in 2024 to support queer educators around the world.

Teaching While Queer’s mission is to create safe schools and communities where every educator can teach, every family can belong, and every child can learn regardless of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.

Teaching While Queer believes that all educators and youth deserve to feel safe and welcome in our schools and communities.

What does God have to do with nuclear weapons? Nothing and everything, observes Bishop William E. Swing, in an original meditation on the threat of annihilation and how faith offers a way to encounter The End of everything. If humanity stays on its present trajectory, he proposes, a nuclear war is inevitable.

Swing calls on readers and leaders to change course and he pays tribute to the late Secretary of State George Shultz as guide and colleague in raising voices to press for a world free of nuclear weapons.

Yet, at a time in our history when we need their voices most, the citizens of the world, especially youth, know precious little about them. This book, featuring the fascinating stories of some of the latest Nobel Peace Laureates, seeks to change that.
