What is your religious background?

And since you seem familiar with Catholicism, what do you think Egan meant when he identified as a "Catholic atheist"? Do you think that influenced his philosophy of education?

To lay my own cards on the table, I used to call myself evangelical, but these days that tends to carry a lot of political baggage, so I simply identify as Christian.

I'm excited about all of this great Egan stuff! And overwhelmed. And busy. And intrigued. And ignorant. Can you give me a "quick start guide" for a busy homeschool parent? Top 5 ideas on where to start or stuff to try? Maybe a decision tree flow chart to accommodate different learners/subjects/preferences? Make it practical. Spell out for me some "easy wins" for a newbie. I find myself reading all of this cool stuff, and yet applying nothing, which annoys me. How about some "notes from the field" of readers comparing stories of implementing stuff you're talking about?
