I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

D.Min. Discussion #3

It is very late. After my last D.Min. session, I had a meeting at church this evening.

What a joy it was to teach this week. As we sat around the table we discussed theology in the way it was meant to be discussed. We were a diverse group with differing views and Jesus in common. All views were welcome; no one was offended by someone else's point of view, and no one was insulted when there was disagreement. It was such a pleasurable week, it was hard to believe I was getting paid for the joy.

Thanks to my students for the gifts of their presence, their insight, and their humor.
