Our February issue has arrived in mailboxes. It’s our annual theological education issue, which is always one of my favorites. This year’s iteration includes five feature articles that explore a wide array of questions facing seminaries and divinity schools (and prep schools, and computer programmers, and community organizers). Most of these articles haven’t hit our website yet, but here is Elizabeth Eisenstadt Evans’s report on how four schools are dreaming and innovating.
On an unrelated note (or is it?), I got the chance to chat with CC Voices columnist Rachel Mann about Jane Austen and the Lenten season. Rachel recently wrote a 40-day reader based on Austen’s novels. Whether you’ve never read Austen (like me) or are a huge fan (like Rachel), I think you might find this conversation interesting and surprising.
“These four schools have taken different routes to survival, but they share at least one thing in common: they serve as laboratories for an unpredictable future.”
“Faith is a deeply ingrained condition formed through steady habits, disciplined practices, and reliable instincts that take shape over long stretches of time.”
