Upon completion of my M.A. in New Testament at TEDS I am going to begin studies in the M.Div. program at the University of Chicago. I am really excited for this opportunity and I look forward to blogging about the transition from a neo-conservative school to a much more progressive context. It should make for some very interesting reflections.
Thanks to the generosity of the Mennonite Church I won a congregational fellowship through the Fund for Theological Education. If you have not heard of this organization you can check out their website here. Next week they are flying all of the fellows to Virginia Theological Seminary for a conference entitled: "Pastoral Leadership and Economic Injustice." I look forward to the ecumenical scope of the conference and will blog my thoughts on it when I return. I am attending a seminar called "Biblical Studies: What They Don't Tell You." Furthermore, I will be visiting Sojourners headquarters and an urban church in the D.C. area. More on this later!
