In
my teaching I seek to assist students to employ the Hebrew
Scriptures to trace the presence and activity of God in a
rapidly changing world so that they are able to lead their
communities in joining God in the work of healing the world’s
brokenness.
*

“God
labors ceaselessly to restore this world and all its inhabitants
to the wholeness God intends for them. God calls on the human
race in all its wondrous diversity to join in that work of
healing the world. God calls the church to be in the forefront
of that work, as the agent of the world’s healing and
as the community within which people can experience that first
hand.
“I entered the ministry of Word and Sacrament in response
to a call to lead the church to take its place in the forefront
of God’s restorative work. I entered seminary teaching
in response to a call to enable the church’s future
leaders to empower the church to claim that calling. I entered
the deanship in response to a call to enable this school and
its teachers of the church’s leaders to become all that
God is calling it and them to be, to the end that human society,
and indeed the whole world, might live in the shalom of God.” |
