a "medium" visit

Chris Ridgeway | 25 Jan 2007 | 11:15

Well. I’m not stunned, wowed, and convinced.

But I liked parts, and certainly didn’t hate it.

Did the following schedule today:

9am – Academic Advisor and Financial Aid
10am – Fuller Chapel Service
11am – Campus & Housing Tour
12pm – Lunch with representative from Brehm Center for Worship, Theology, and the Arts
1pm – skip first half of class I’m assigned to visit (Systematic Theology with Colin Brown)
2pm – walk into the back of another class, MC500 Church in Mission, by Associate Professor Ryan Bolger (incidentally co-author of the book I’ve been reading, “Emerging Churches”
3:30pm – decide to quit talking to people in general for a undetermined resting period.

The campus is very pretty: bright palms, historic houses, modern buildings, and a silent prayer garden. but I still found myself longing for the stately American architecture that characterizes UofI. None of that to be found. sigh.

I don’t know. I don’t know.

About Me

Chris Ridgeway

Retro-identity idea: define yourself by magazines. Me? Wired. Paste. Atlantic Monthly. Discipleship Journal. Or this: For ten years I've worked as a leadership coach, spiritual director, and free agent missionary with Great Commission Ministries on its mission to reach the next generation--I currently serve as the national Staff Program Manager for GCM, helping train and equip church planters, campus missionaries , and other missional leaders. My area of curiosity is the impact of an information society on Christian theology, especially a doctrine of scripture. Does text messaging modify our view of the Trinity? Oh yeah, and I'm inexcusably addicted to breakfast diners. New home base: Orlando, FL. Home home: Chicago-ish.
