The position of teaching from a deep belief can make for awkward situations, especially if you don’t realize that everyone doesn’t share that belief. But from the viewpoint of the student, it makes for a more enthusiastic teacher. As long as everyone keeps an open mind and understands each other’s position, I think it works out well.

P.S. How did you get this post to show up before your Nov. 10th post? I almost missed it. D.
