Child Centred Approach to Climate Change and Health Adaptation through Schools in Bangladesh: A Cluster Randomised Intervention Trial
Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change. People are getting educated at different levels on how to deal with potential impacts. One such educational mode was the preparation of a school manual, for high school students on climate change and health protection endorsed by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board, which is based on a 2008 World Health Organization manual. The objective of this study was to test the effectiveness of the manual in increasing the knowledge level of the school children about climate change and health adaptation.
This cluster randomized intervention trial involved 60 schools throughout Bangladesh, with 3293 secondary school students participating. School upazilas (sub-districts) were randomised into intervention and control groups, and two schools from each upazila were randomly selected. All year seven students from both groups of schools sat for a pre-test of 30 short questions of binary response. A total of 1515 students from 30 intervention schools received the intervention through classroom training based on the school manual and 1778 students of the 30 control schools did not get the manual but a leaflet on climate change and health issues. Six months later, a post-intervention test of the same questionnaire used in the pre-test was performed at both intervention and control schools. The pre and post test scores were analysed along with the demographic data by using random effects model.
None of the various school level and student level variables were significantly different between the control and intervention group. However, the intervention group had a 17.42% (95% CI: 14.45 to 20.38, P = <0.001) higher score in the post-test after adjusting for pre-test score and other covariates in a multi-level linear regression model.
These results suggest that school-based intervention for climate change and health adaptation is effective for increasing the knowledge level of school children on this topic.

Blood Cries Out from the Ground: Reflections on Ferguson
The backbreaking work of the transfers fell to slaves, and the weight of the cargo sent upriver as far as St. Paul, downriver to Memphis and New Orleans, on the Illinois River almost to Chicago, on the Ohio River all the way to Pittsburgh, and into the greater West via the Missouri River made the dominant culture a wealthy one. The Scotts had lived for some years in Wisconsin Territory, free soil according to the Missouri Compromise. Some have said that it is part of an officer's training that, once engaged in lethal response, he or she should aim for the abdominal core of the assailant, fire all the ammunition in the magazine, and never break the engagement.

Editor's Notes
In keeping with the Anglican Theological Reviews commitment to connecting pastoral practice with thoughtful theological inquiry, and given the inclusion of three Practicing Theology pieces in this issue, we open this volume with Richard Briggs's foundational article, \"Biblical Hermeneutics and Practical Theology: Method and Truth in Context.\" Briggs notes that the rise of practical theology as \"a theological sub-discipline, with its attention fixed firmly on the daily Uves and practice of humans in God's world, affords a new challenge in making sure that scripture's voice continues to be heard.\"
