The new term has started! I am officially into my second term at STETS.
Last weekend was challenging, stimulating, fun and exhausting! I came away with a brain ache!
My &Co group were on duty this weekend which meant among other things that we were responsible for running the bar, so at least we had a legitimate excuse for being the last ones propping up the bar on Friday night. 

In class we looked at how theology is shaped and changed by its context.  We had a great drama presentation from the staff which illustrated how theologians such as Gregory of Nyssa, Calvin, and Moltmann re-engaged with the Bible and theology as a result of the social and cultural situations of their time.  Its exciting to think that we can always find new meaning and relevance in Scripture.

This month I'm studying the Hebrew Scriptures, in particular the ethics of the Old Testament. I'm just beginning to get my head around some of the key themes in the reading,  (which is just as well as the next assignment is due in four weeks).
