Meetings with Students

Friends:

Over my 13 years, I have had many meetings with students.
We discuss theology, course offerings, faculty members in other schools, pastoral assignments and so forth.

The current chair and vice-chair of our Board--Clyde Taylor and Sheila Garcia--think that the students are most important. And so they are. Student Board representatives now speak at each meeting of the Board of Trustees.

I mention this because this morning I am having coffee with a student who took my course on spiritual ecumenism a few years back and who stays in touch. I always learn from my students--it is an advantage of teaching.

And drinking coffee is good too.

Peace,
John
