In the last nine months or so as I've been telling people I was planning to study for my MA in Sacred Scripture at the Augustine Institute, I have received responses which generally fall into one of two classes. The first is "Scripture... so, what are you going to do with that?" Specific examples range from polite (or not so polite) incredulity to well-intentioned but misguided enthusiasm such as "That's wonderful! When the Catholic Church opens the priesthood to women, you can apply for ordaination!"
The second class of response is more along the lines of an interest in hearing about what I learn - thus the existence of this blog. Rather than pelting you - my beloved (agapeton) friends and family - with emails you may or may not be inclined to read, I intend to post summaries of and reflections on some of what I am learning in my classes. And I look forward to your comments and questions as I am sure they will challenge me to think about what I am learning in new ways.
I especially welcome any comments disagreeing with what I've posted (and for some of you who may be reading this, you will most certainly disagree at times).
A disclaimer... I would love to update this regularly and share a majority of what I am learning in class. But as indicated by the fact that I'm not even starting until the fifth week of the semester... it most likely will not happen as often as I would like. We shall see :)
love in Christ,
