Friends:

I paid a little visit yesterday to Capital Bible Seminary, our member in Lanham, yesterday.

The Seminary, relatively new to permanent membership in the Consortium, is fast becoming a center for evangelical theology and ministry. Dr. Mercer, now in his third year as president, has a clear vision for the future--and colleagues who are very dedicated.

I met Dr. Mercer himself as well as Acting Dean Gerard Davis and Library Director William Banks. While I shared a great deal about developments in the Consortium, I also learned much about developments at CBS.

I also ran into a student I know who not only got into a tough scripture course with an esteemed and demanding professor but also had just spent most of the night studying for the mid-term!! I was reminded of a previous version of myself!!

Peace,
John
