Dr. James Evans does an outstanding job teaching the "Prophetic Preaching" class from 8:30am to 4:30pm. Sixteen of us have gathered each morning this week to hear his firery, informed, inspiring lectures. Today has been unusually interesting as our lecture has included an "astounding multiplicity " of dynamic discussions from "The Sorrows of Empire" by Chalmers Johnson to the Dignity of Difference" by Johnathan Sacks. The class consist of Senior Pastors and Ministers from the United Churches of Christ, Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodist and Episcopalians. Each of us; even within similar Denominations has brought challenging religious distinctives to the discussions with much to be appreciated as the differences are highlighted. Thus, for the majority of us; our Theology is the same; it's our religious practices where the great difference and often divide lies. Seated, Kurt Clark and Dr. James Evans.
