Thank goodness, I’m under no illusion that one’s pastoral education stops when one graduates. In fact, I think only then does it truly begin." AMEN and amen. GLAD you said this - because for adult learners in particular, pursing things that are meaningful (for a particular aspect of a call, or hobby)is how to stay engaged and not isolated, energized not enervated! “What a quandary!

I could have used that class. The Theology/Ethic/Sexuality class would likely lead to a good curriculum to use for adult ed. I wish I had taken Wisdom Literature. If Kim offers Occasional Services, it was a great class and is the class that has already been of the most immediate value. I am also thankful for my Hebrew/Greek, and Old and New Testament classes. This congregation really likes to learn the context of the scriptures, and I'm glad I had such a good grounding in that. In terms of Missional stuff, that is a big "buzzword" out here at least. So I'm certainly learning a lot about it out here in my clergy group, etc. Don't throw away any of your polity notes either. You definitely need those!
