Thanks guys! Despite the difficulties, I really gained so much from those years, and from my friendships with people like the both of you. I would say the heaviness didn’t really set in during my first 2 (MA) years, but really began with the MAR. I didn’t fully realize the change in me until the summer before my last year though, and that last year was very very tough.

Wow, Goodnight Moon. I didn’t realize your negative experiences at seminary were this intense . (Though of course I know that marginalization and rigidity are problems at the seminary and I felt them, too). Thanks so much for expressing this. Did it get worse after you started the M.A.R.?

I second what Justin said – you made such a difference on campus.

Thanks so much for this. Well said.
And I’m glad that, despite the cocoon/oppression (which I as a male hardly even recognized until it was gently pointed out to me by Mel, you, and others), you made some wonderful contributions to the seminary’s life. I can’t think about Culture Night without grinning, and i can’t think about walking by the Machen kitchen doorway without hearing lively discussion (and singing!) from you and all the other Machenites. And I’ll say it again: 90% of the best, most thought-provoking, real-world questions in my classes at seminary were asked by women, even though they were a minority of the students.

Amen! You’re a blessing, goodnight moon, not just to the people of Chad who will benefit from your work, but to people here who get to see you live out your faith.

Sometimes I think “delete” and want to hit control+z after I do or say something stupid.

Thanks – I didn’t know you were reading! No, no more juvenile writings that I know of, but maybe one of these days I will get into writing for real…
