Friends:

I have returned to the daily routine of the office
after teaching for 7 days at Gettysburg Lutheran.
The course was on Spiritual Ecumenism.

I always enjoy my visits to Gettysburg.
People are warmly welcoming--despite the cold and rain
of January. The students are very good--I always learn something.

This year I was hindered by a bad cold--but struggled through.
I had the help of my guest speakers--Rev. Thomas Prinz, Dr. Mitzi
Budde and Rev. John Farrelly, OSB. They provided a different voice--and this
year a clear one in contrast to my attenuated one!

Let me encourage you to consider taking or teaching a course at Gettysburg someday.
It is quite a good experience.

Peace,
John
