Hi Bill, I think it is a great idea to do a blog. I don't know anything about them, so I might need some help. Hope your eye continues to improve. I have had some eye retina issues myself because I am so near sighted. Am glad we are in class together. Hope your son enjoyed the SARW last week-end. Lisa
Thanks, Lisa. I am off to a slow start, but hope to post at least one comment per day until I put out enough threads that people find the site useful. If I can't think of a comment, I guess I will start adding some useful reference links. --Bill
Bill, Thanks for your thoughtfullness at doing this. There is a lot that can be discussed and can be done in a way outside of class.
Having been in the program since May of 07, I can tell you that it may seem lonely sometimes as we are a new breed of pastors.
The biggest challenge so far has been support from Presbytery. The COM is composed of mostly Ordained Ministers, fewer elders and thus the lean toward a rigid demand for compliancy to the letter(talking about required courses).
I have to say that the program itself is very well designed, placing emphasis upon fairly strong preparation.
Bill, for me I'm just a little run down right now from all that is going on in my life. Fulltime work, family and the responsibilities of ministry in a small church where the session doesn't truly interpret their responsiblities.
I am working on that though, smile.
God is so good, all of this is nothing compared to what Christ did for me, so I can do it!
Bill, I am researching a paper for a religious studies class at my university, I would love to get some feedback from the folks who are involved in the program/seminary field. To that end, I'd like to start a blog, can you direct me to a site that will instruct me in that endeavor? THanks, Elizabeth Murphy (reformed worship/CLP program)
