If you are United Methodist, it's likelyyou recognize the book I'll be reading this evening.
Yes, I'll be reading the Discipline.
I want my dissertation to not only meet academic standards, but also
be a contribution to the church and how we proclaim we do discipleship.
Yeah, you're jealous - or at least Chuck is....!

i feel the same way about my thesis! not the um church specifically, but church parents in general. that's why i'm glad i wound up in 'practical theology'.
and i'm totally um at heart. which makes me a bit of an odd-ball here. ;)
Swimming here in Reformed waters at Pton and Union, I get that UM odd ball remark. I imagine being in Scotland is akin to being at the school of hard Knox! (I couldn't resist - but really don't know who the theological hero is there - here it is more likely to be Shcleiermacher than Calvin OR Edwards.) Let's hear it for Wesley, the practical theologican who was so practical he couldn't be bothered to write a systematic theology!
it totally IS knox! his house is in edinburgh, even. and you are totally right about hard knox, lol. it's great. (sarcasm)
yay for practical wesley! we're following in great footsteps. ;)
