After much sweat was spent, my school invited a new theologian into our school's community. She agreed. We just found out this week that Dr. Nordling rescinded from coming to our school.
Currently, Mars Hill Grad School has two resident Divinity professors: Dwight Friesen, a practical theologian, and Joann Badly, a New Testament scholar.
We need more. We need a theologian. We need a spiritual director type person, and an OT scholar would be good too.
Now we Divinity folks, the minority at our school, have a program with these two brilliant people....and a bunch of adjuncts. We went from 5 to 2 in the past year and a half.
I feel like we are a bunch of ugly puppies that no one wants to adopt.
So...Know any theologians? Send them to us.

The Summer Heat is Heavy
I am a Seattle Swede. 90 degree weather is not something to look forward to for us. Especially in my case, since I live on the top of an old brick apartment building.
As I write this, I sit in my underthings with the fan on me. The only lights are from my laptop, the city lights of my neighbor buildings, and the full moon currently residing directly above the Warwick hotel. My headphones cradle my head with Hungarian Eurotrash dance pop.
There really is no break for M.Div.s at my school in the summer. I still have one paper left, which directly afterwards is an intensive course for a week, then the fall.
I found an interesting picture. You can probably tell that Bjork means a lot to me; she is my high priestess. Her viking blood connects her to our past as scandinaviens and her avant garde vision makes her a prophetess. Someone recently told me that he sees me as a kind of Bjork for the church.
I can hope, can't I?
