Seminary Soon
With the flip of the calendar from June to July, my attention is starting to be focused on a class I am taking at Denver Seminary this summer. The class is called “How the Nature of the Church Affects Strategies for Ministry.” The class is taught by Paul Borden who has had great success in growing churches. His track record speaks for itself. I have read a few of his books for the class, and his understanding is immense. This class scares me because mostly I have been educated in schools connected to the churches of Christ. I wonder how I will be treated. Will I be an outcast? Will a lot of the strategies not work well in the churches of Christ? Probably, I will be treated well. It will be a rewarding experience of looking at different fellowships. I love traveling to Harding Graduate because of the fellowship I have with the students. We all deal with the same issues and mostly have the same opinions. There is a huge bond there between the students. I need to run up to the school to see it for the first time. Look around and see which class I will be in. This should help. I am a little nervous about this but have been for every new school I attended. I am sure once I am there, I will love the people and the time together. I am just excited about seeing what God is planning for me. July 13-17 will be a interesting week.

paul is a great guy. i was part of a gathering he had a couple of years ago for the bulls eye conference.
what i’ve found as i’ve begun to swim in the broader evangelical waters is that we have far more in common than we may have been led to believe.
I had the opportunity to visit Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN and was even accepted into the Master of Theology program. Though I am not part of the Lutheran Church, I was treated like a Christian and colleague there. Since there were to PhD students from the CoC attending Luther Sem., they had already made a favorable impression for students coming from the CoC. Also since Luther has more of an ecumenical student base than most CoC schools do, they are used to students from a variety of Christian backgrounds. I suspect Denver Seminary would be similar. Also, I would have a less than favorable opinion of any school that treats a student poorly because they come from a different denomination than is affiliated with the school.
Any ways, we have made our move to the Denver metro area.
Grace and peace,
