Abstract
In this chapter, the author takes on aspects of the narrative and autoethnographic methodologies to fashion an examination of self and practice. Attention is given to the links between and among literacy, religion, spirituality, and instructional practices. Additional attention is given to practices which unite human beings in a classroom space in positive ways, including the need to listen and the urgency of critiquing policies and practices which might otherwise erase experiences in the classroom community.
