I haven't posted here very much lately, as I've been rather busy with other matters. I do have a list of posts I'd like to write up when I get the time, energy, and drive to do so, though. (Some are further examinations of Evangelical and LDS teaching, while others are critical engagements with popular positions among the ex-LDS atheist communities.) In the meantime, a few quick updates on what's been going on in my life:
- I've been spending most of my time lately - as always - reading. I have a number of books to work through before I return them to the seminary library in mid-July, so I've been making them a fairly high priority.
- I have graduated, as of May 2014, from Asbury Theological Seminary with a Masters of Divinity (MDiv) degree. It's been a long four-year journey!
- On 29 May 2014, at the National Conference of my denomination, I was given my preacher's license and my clergy membership card identifying me as a "licensed pastor".
- Starting in July, in addition to continuing in my current position teaching elementary-school children in a local Christian daycare, I will begin serving as the part-time assistant pastor of a small congregation out on the fringes of my home county, in the middle of heavy Amish territory. (The horse-and-buggy nearly outnumbers the automobile on the road there!) From what I've seen so far, it's a lovely community, and I've heard nothing but positive things about the church. I strongly suspect that, as removed as the village is from any of the more urbanized areas, that I'm (sadly) rather unlikely to spot any LDS missionaries anywhere around!
