A Virtues Project Workshop-Raising Morally
Responsible Children in a Changing World
c
c
If you have a chance to talk
with Barbara Waldron, you will
find a woman who is enthused
with the Virtues Project as a way
of addressing the moral issues
that challenge all o f us in our
daily lives. How do we embark
upon a life of service to prin­
ciple—principles like truth, kind­
ness, courage, or humility—to
name a few. The Virtue’s Project
is a model for the education of
the human spirit.
We as a nation are ques­
tioning our values, out ethics,
our character and our morality,
how do we as parents raise mor­
ally responsible children? What
can we use as a yardstick for
addressing our own character
development? Many are cham­
pioning the Virtue’s Project as a
way to approach this important
work of spiritual and moral de­

velopment. It is proving to be an
invaluable aide and is being used
in schools, colleges, government
in stitutions, com m unities of
faith, recovery programs, pris­
ons, social service agencies and
even businesses. Ecumenical
Ministries of Oregon brought the
training to Portland in June of
1995.

W aldron,
LCSW and Virtues Project Fa­
cilitator, is offering a weekend
training at the Teacher’s Space
at 2755 NE Broadway in Port­
land on September 27 and 28
from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Bar­
bara has been an educator and
counselor for 25 years and has
been in private practice since
1986. If you are interested in
attending, please call 285-4663.
This unique project be­
gan in the hearts of three people,
tion, the three developed an edu­
cational program that places vir­
tues at the center of our families
and relationships. The virtues
become the boundaries and pro­
vide a guide for our relationships.
The Virtues Project teaches not
only how to use virtues to set
boundaries but also how to use
virtues to acknowledge and en­
courage each other. Through this
training individuals learn to use
difficulties as opportunities for
growth. They also become adept
at non-defensive communication
which helps us to find our own
truth in the context of virtues; in
other words, I might ask, “What
virtue could help you in this situ­
ation." People of various faith
background and of no particular
faith have wholeheartedly em­
braced this training program.
Linda Kavelin Popov, a psycho­
therapist and spiritual director,
Dan Popov, Ph.D., a child psy­
chologist and scholar of sacred
texts, and John Kavelin, a Disney
art director. The three of them
thought the answers to these ques­
tion would be found in the spiri­
tual texts of the world’s major
religions. This is where they be­
gan their search. This search led
them to the virtues—over 300 of
them. The virtues were bound to
be the thread of unity throughout
all the sacred texts. They chose
52 virtues that were universal to
all religions. These virtues were
then defined in terms of our inner
behavior with ourselves and our
outer behavior with others. Each
definition begins with a quote
from one of the religions.
