“We are all citizens of the Realm of Redemption. Grace changes everything.”
God bends toward life in all its fullness. Redemption is, in part, an acceptance of the reality of a grace-soaked world waiting to slake souls left parched by the de-relational forces in our modern world. Theological education, when it works well, is a grace-full endeavour. As an educator, I am most interested in supporting learners as they encounter new-to-them concepts from the rich soil of theology and pastoral ethics. I look forward to the learnings I receive from each person encountered in that educational cultivation.
