		<description><![CDATA[Today was Orientation for the entering students at the seminary. A great bunch of folks. I was intrigued by the diversity in the group, including the span in ages and life experiences. The group served to confirm the reality that the term “non-traditional student” hardly means anything in theological education any more. God is at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently received a surprise call from a former professor of mine. He was gracious and kind to call me to congratulate me on the new job. A former dean himself I accepted the condolences. It was one of those tender conversations of a teacher expressing gratification (if not relief) for a former student’s success. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Full disclosure: I’ve not read Warren’s fabulously successful Purpose Driven Live. There is a copy of it in our home as my wife was required to read it as part of a staff development team-building activity at the church where she works. So, perhaps I’ll get to it at some point.

		<description><![CDATA[I continue to be fascinated with how people are enamored with the idea of mentoring. It seems to have a romantic hold on peopleâ€™s imagination. I recently received an e-mail from a friend who is a college program director. She was asking some questions about a program for college students being created at her college. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An aspiring artist friend and I enjoy occasional conversations about art and aesthetics. One on-going philosophical conversation has to do with â€œwhat is art?â€ This, in the context of how current and emerging technologies are changing the practices, if not the nature, of the work of the artist. For example, a couple of days after [...]]]></description>

I think itâ€™s important because the future of the [...]]]></description>
