About this Blog

This blog is a place where I will write every other week on various topics of interest to the wider Covenant College community.

One of the joyful burdens of my role is to keep up with daily events, educational news, social and economic trends, cultural and global developments, and theological and church issues. I regularly read journals, books, and news outlets covering a broad range of contexts, and have the opportunity to hear from thoughtful and knowledgeable people.

In this blog I will offer my ruminations for your consideration, and I hope that you will comment if you have something to add to the discussion.

As with many such blogs, comments are moderated to ensure that the content and language are appropriate for publication.
