Well, here we are at the end of week two. My head is swimming with Dogmatic's, trying to figure out how to explain the Holy Spirit, Isaiah, and exegesis!!!! I am ready for a quiet weekend of reading and writing.
This evening before I came home I attended a talk by the missionary from the Etheopian Lutheran Church on the place of women in the church of Etheopia and Female Genital Mutilation, a huge problem in that country, and other harmful traditions and how they are working with government leaders, pastors and health workers to educate the people and turn the tide on these harmful traditions. Very interesting to hear how things are in her culture and also to hear the discussion between her and the men from the Sudan in our class. I had heard of FGM from a National Geographic article some years ago. The images in the article still haunt my memory.
I hope you are all well and settling into the fall routines. I will try and get some pictures up on this site by next week to show you what is happening and what has happened here at the seminary and in my life.
Peace to you......
