You know that old saying, “the devil is in the details”?  Well it is true….

Last week I submitted a course substitution petition to Fuller Theological Seminary where I am working on a Masters of Cross Cultural Studies. Today, I emailed my advisor asking for an update of the petition as the class starts next Monday. Her reply:

“I had sent the decision to your Fuller email account.”

Say what?!

I have a Fuller email address?!!!

When? Where? How? And Who killed the cat?

I’ve have been a grad student for…hmm…lets see – a little over two years now. And never once did I ever realize or think about the fact that I might have a student email address… 😕

Wow. 65 unread messages….

Looks like I have a lot of emails to wade through.  I wonder what else I missed?

oh…and for those wondering, the powers-that-be did approve my course substitution. As such, I will be taking a class on “The Emerging Church in the Twenty-First Century” starting Monday.

Description: The course identifies characteristics of churches in postmodern and post-Christian contexts. We will examine and consider how these communities embody their faith and what value it has for the broader Church. The class will explore the dynamics of the sacred/secular split, forms of community, contextual forms of apologetics, hospitality, new forms of participation, creativity, leadership, and the spirituality of everyday life. Theologically, the class will explore how the reign of God might manifest in worship, in formation, and in witness in postmodern cultures.
