Spring Semester

I realize I have lapsed a bit in my blog writing, and I apologize. The middler year has been very intense but awesome. Over the January term I took Presbyterian Worship where I learned to worship Presbyterian-ly and prepared for the Sacrament and Worship Ordination Exam.

Here are my classes for the spring semester:
Presbyterian History and Theology
Crossing the Deep River (exploring the Exodus event and the interpretation of the event particularly focusing on African-American experiences from the 19th Century to the modern day)
Jewish Biblical Interpretation (taught by a professor from Jewish Theological Seminary in NYC)

I am also trying out for the play, "The Merchant of Venice." It's a fascinating play with lots of interesting religious questions that arise from it.

I'm also still working at Rider University. This semester I will be leading a Lenten reflection group.

It's going to be a busy semester, but I'm very excited about it!
