Kay Burlingham Director of Alum Relations and Annual Giving 2121 Sheridan Road Evanston, IL 60201 May 17, 2013 Dear Class of 1963, “Blest be the dear uniting love that will not let us part; our bodies may far off remove, we are still one in heart. “Joined in one spirit to our Head, where he appoints we go, and still in Jesus’ footsteps tread, and do his work below.” --Charles Wesley This Charles Wesley hymn eloquently speaks of the union of believers in Christ. You share this union as partners in faith and as graduates of Garrett-Evangelical (or one of the predecessor institutions that shaped this seminary). The stories of your journey in ministry and your service to the Church are inspirational and a powerful witness to the faith. Thank you for sharing these stories, which are part of your reunion booklet. The booklet also includes the names and addresses of your classmates. Your Golden Reunion is a wonderful time to reconnect with friends who shared with you in the seminary experience. For those of you who are back on campus, we rejoice that you are here. For those who are unable to join us, for reasons of conflicting schedules or health problems, we miss you and hold you in our prayers. We welcome contact from you regularly and often.

May 17, 2013

Dear Class of 1963: Congratulations on your 50th anniversary of graduation from seminary! What an important milestone! Persons often choose to remember this anniversary year with a special gift to the seminary. This is a marvelous way of saying thank you for the education you received and enabling the seminary to sustain its position as a center of theological excellence. I also invite you to consider a planned gift commitment to Garrett-Evangelical during this important anniversary year. Planned gifts such as annuities, bequests, insurance policies, and trust arrangements are very appropriate ways to remember the seminary. Oftentimes they allow persons to make a more substantial gift than otherwise possible. Many have discovered they can make a planned gift to the seminary and increase their own current income at the same time, as through a gift annuity. Annuity rates are currently 3.0% to 9.0% depending upon a person’s age, and they are guaranteed for life. I am available to assist you in your planning or to answer any questions you might have. Please do not hesitate to stop by when you are on campus, or call me at 1.800.736.4627. I hope to visit with you. Cordially,

Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary 2121 Sheridan Road Evanston, IL 60201 847.866.3900 Alum.Relations@garrett.edu www.garrett.edu


An Arranged Marriage I entered Evangelical Theological Seminary in Naperville in 1969. I graduated in 1973—the Centennial Year. As a student, I became involved on the Task Force that worked on the plan of union for the two seminaries. When Garrett-Evangelical was constituted in 1974, I was surprised to be elected as a member of the Board of Trustees on which I have served these past thirty years. I came to seminary as a young student, and I never left. My pastoral ministry has been shaped and reshaped all these years through my close association with this school. I am blessed. A story is told of travelers who lost their way while driving the back roads of Ireland. They were relieved to see someone walking along the remote highway who pulled up alongside and asked, “Can you tell us how to get to Dublin?” The old Irishman looked at the travelers, then looked toward the horizon, and after thinking about it for awhile, he said, “Well, if I were goin’ to Dublin, I wouldn’t start from here.” Today I want to say, I’m glad I started from here. To you students I would say, if you are looking for a ministry that is woven out of evangelical commitment, creative and critical reason, and prophetic participation in society, this is the place to start. You can get there from here. It is good for us all to remember how we got here. The Sesquicentennial Celebration has been an occasion for us to tell the stories of how this seminary has come to be, and what it is called to be. Today we are focusing on the last thirty of our one hundred fifty year history. I would suggest that Garrett-Evangelical came into being as a result of an arranged marriage. It was the idea of the parents. It was encouraged by the extended families on both sides. When the Evangelical United Brethren and Methodist denominations joined in 1968 to form The UMC, a commission was authorized to “study the ministry.” That commission brought a recommendation to the General Conference in 1972 which called for a reduction in the number of United Methodist seminaries from 14 to 11 with the expectation that there would be only one seminary in the Chicago area.

1


This recommendation was adopted by the Conference in April, 1972. There it was. An arranged marriage for ETS and GTS. These two institutions, for years, had been neighbors, friendly acquaintances. Now they were to be one. I have learned with the help of Dick Tholin’s research, that when the recommendation was adopted in 1972, conversation had already begun between GTS and ETS regarding union. Still I would maintain the idea of arranged marriage. The partners may have initiated a brief courtship, but it was begun because they knew what the parents had in mind. Our two seminary communities were faithful to the larger church. The union was consummated at the Orrington Hotel, here in Evanston, in January of 1974. The first classes offered by the united faculty began here thirty years ago this month. Will Willimon, of Duke Divinity School, now Bishop Willimon, wrote an article in “The Christian Century” some time ago commending the idea of arranged marriages. He wrote: “We are conditioned to think that only what we decide for ourselves is right for us. . .I think we should be more open about the arranged, unchosen aspects of our marriage because it enables us to think clearly about the peculiar ethical demands placed upon us. . . (“The Christian Century,” Oct. 17, 1990, p. 925).” Bishop Willimon contends, in his article entitled, “The People We’re Stuck With,” that love is the result of marriage rather than its cause. Applied to our history, can we say that one result of this arranged marriage was a discovery of identity and mission that might not have been realized by either of the institutions on their own. This discovery began in the process of selecting a name for the new united seminary. The question was raised, “What will it be called?” The list of possible names grew. One of the names I remember on that list was, Covenant Theological Seminary. We could have been another CTS. That name would have spoken of our sacred bond with God and with each other, but it did not represent our heritage. Nor did it represent the new United Methodist identity of 1968. After considering various possibilities, it was decided finally that we needed to keep our names. The name of the new seminary would be hyphenated—something some newly married couples were doing in the early ‘70s. There was a distinct heritage and identity carried in those old beloved names. It could not be just “Evangelical.” It could not be just “Garrett.” It was to be Garrett “hyphen” Evangelical Theological Seminary.

2


The naming is wonderfully portrayed on a banner that was created for the uniting celebration. The initials, GTS and ETS, are drawn close then linked together by a hyphen that is finally transfigured into a cross. The uniting and naming of Garrett-Evangelical was something to celebrate, but that celebration took place in a stormy context. Those were the years of the Vietnam War. Difficult days for the Church and painful days for our country. The process of union ran against the mood of the times. We were talking about joining together when so much around us was coming apart. We were seeking to build a new institution in an environment of antiinstitutionalism. It was no honeymoon. The purpose and vision of the new seminary were tried and tested right from the beginning. I will always remember something that happened at ETS during my Middler Year. That was before the union, but it was an experience of the forces of evangelical commitment and prophetic participation in society that would shape the new school. One of those moments that has shaped my ministry. I believe that it was in the fall of 1970 (the fall after the Kent State massacre). A moratorium was called at Evangelical Seminary. Classes were cancelled for one week. This was not the result of a student rebellion. Instead, I would say it was an act of faithfulness on the part of our Community Council, a story in itself. That council included the faculty along with representatives of staff, students, and spouses. It was authorized by the Board of Trustees to direct the day-to-day life of the seminary community. The council debated and finally approved the moratorium. It should be noted the split vote was not a tally of students versus faculty, but it was the difficult decision of a covenant community in which members stood on different sides of a crucial issue. The moratorium was a drastic measure taken in a desperate time. (Do you remember the casualty reports every Thursday evening on the six o-clock news?) It was an effort of the seminary community to address the national crisis of the war. We were not of one mind about Vietnam. Our community reflected the agonies of division felt all through the land. The labels of “hawk” and “dove” so often defined and strained our encounters. It seemed there was no middle ground. But somehow together, as a community devoted to shaping ministry, we needed to make a witness in the face of the war. There was intentionality about the moratorium. It was not to be a vacation, a time to go home to sleep. Each member of the community was to find a way to respond that was faithful to the Gospel and to his or her convictions. For some, it would mean participating in an anti-war demonstration. For others it meant letter writing, or an intensive time of prayer, or work for the cause of some justice ministry.

3


The moratorium began with a service of worship in the seminary chapel. Dr. Wayne Clymer, the seminary President, who soon would be elected to the episcopacy, led the worship. I do not remember the sermon that morning, but I do remember the Sacrament. Holy Communion was not celebrated often in chapel, but it was that day.

“The chapel was silent. In the quietness, we heard again and again those words of grace and commission.”

After President Clymer consecrated the elements, he broke the bread, then he walked out from the Table into the sanctuary. He brought the broken bread to us. One at a time he served us with the words, “Take and eat. And now go, do that which God has given you to do.” The chapel was silent. In the quietness, we heard again and again those words of grace and commission. Grounded in the Holy Sacrament, somehow the moratorium was a matter of faith. Grounded in the Sacrament, somehow our actions were the work of the Body of Christ. Painfully aware of our differences, somehow we were held together by that broken bread. I wonder how much I understood of what was happening in that service. Praise God that the Sacrament works without our understanding. “Ex opera operatum,” says the Church. Here we are thirty years later. Still, these are trying times for the Church and terror-filled days for our world. Still, we are at war. Still, in this seminary community we reflect the diversity and differences, even the divisions, of our culture. Yet, here the Holy Spirit is at work shaping ministry and preparing spiritual leaders. Amidst the issues of this day, may we be nourished as the Body of Christ to do what God has given us to do in Christ’s transforming ministry. May we continue to witness, and to learn what it means to be held together by broken bread. We are called to be bold leaders in a new world. You can get there from here. Praise God for what God has done, and is doing through Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. Amen! Rev. Thomas E. Babler, ETS ‘73 Convocation Sermon September 4, 2004 Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary

Franklin Block Contact Info: 906-428-2172 Spouse: Sharon Children: Two sons, Steven and Dan; a daughter, Lisa; and four grandchildren My favorite memory from seminary is when our class spent several days at a campground in northern Indiana. It was a time of relaxation during which we shared openly with professors and students about our faith and future dreams. I began to realize that we are all on a spiritual journey and are changing and growing closer to God and one another. My favorite professor was Dr. James Will because he would write extensive notes on my papers encouraging me to expand my thinking. When I entered the seminary, I was sincere in my faith, but had “tunnel vision.” With red pen, Dr. Will wrote, “I suggest you read the following books to widen your perspective” after which he listed several helpful books. It worked! After graduation, I was appointed by the Wisconsin Conference to serve at First Community Church in Milwaukee. I pastored there for four years and had a great time. Most of the congregation was of Italian heritage. They were very musical and received us warmly. My next appointment was to the Seymour and Cicero churches 15 miles west of Green Bay. We had a fantastic experience there for 37 years! Some of the highlights included: forming the Seymour and Black Creek Clergy Association; building a new church facility; overseeing the construction of a nursing home complex, senior citizen center, children’s day care unit, and an assisted living complex; overseeing the establishment of a medical clinic and community food pantry; and organizing the beginning of community concerts and programs. The years of pastoring at Seymour and Cicero were the “golden years” of our lives. Also during that time we were privileged to go on several overseas tours to places like the Holy Land, Egypt, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria, England, Scotland, and Wales. These experiences greatly enriched my ministry. Now, we live in Gladstone, MI, just six miles away from our grandchildren. We attend a lot of their events and programs. My wife and I sing in our UMC choir and lead a Bible study every Thursday morning. I fill in for the pastor when necessary. We are also active in our church’s senior citizens group, which meets monthly for lunch and organizes interesting programs and times of fellowship. Occasionally we attend music/ theater performances.

Grant Bomberger Contact Info: 804-798-3467 | margra2@comcast.net Spouse: Marian Children: Two daughters, Karen and Janine, and one son, David. My favorite memory from seminary is the morning chapel experiences. I had accepted responsibility for a student charge with limited previous experience, so chapel worship and the resources suggested by various faculty members were godsends in launching me into my calling. My favorite professor was Dr. Wayne Clymer. I urgently needed instruction in preaching and he was very helpful in providing excellent help and inspiration. I need, however, to add that the teaching in biblical studies, counseling, and church history provided by other faculty was also essential to my preparation for pastoral ministry. After graduation, I served for two years in the Canada Conference of the then Evangelical United Brethren Church. After three years of doctoral studies at New College, the University of Edinburgh, I served in campus ministry and as part-time faculty at Westmar College in LeMars, IA, and at Mt. Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada. From 1980-98, I served as an elder in the Virginia Conference of The United Methodist Church. Following retirement, I assisted in part-time ministry at several appointments. Now, my wife and I enjoy a variety of local drama opportunities. We also enjoy learning about the rich history of Virginia. Especially important to us is following the development of our children’s and grandchildren’s interests and careers. I always pay particular attention to developments occurring within the denomination and our conference. What I want to do is assist the congregation of which I am now a member in any way that may be helpful. Beyond that, my wife and I look forward to traveling to new places, especially overseas.

Robert Hackl Contact Info: 217 355 8563 | Rhackl323@comcast.net Spouse: Mary Children: Three daughters, Belinda, Myra, and Melissa. My favorite memory from seminary is when I fell from a second floor window onto the cement. Professor Wingeier came running outside saying, “Don’t move him! He’s got a serious injury!” In the end, I had a broken leg and went to Edwards Hospital in Naperville, IL. My favorite professors were Dr. Howell and Dr. Wingeier, who taught us how to be real pastors who cared for their flock. After graduation, my wife and I traveled to 23 different countries, including the Holy Land, various European capitals, past the Communist block, along the Panama Canal, China, and various islands in the Caribbean. Now I am retired and living in an independent living home in Savoy, IL, where I play bingo and attend lots of lectures. My hobbies include researching my genealogy on the computer, gardening, and going to my grandchildren’s sports games (basketball, football, baseball, and volleyball). What I want to do is travel to Australia. Unfortunately, my health won’t allow it. Book: In retirement, I read many light stories. Some of my favorite authors are Nicholas Sparks and Janet Evanovich.

12


Bert Harrison Contact Info: 574-520-1857 | bert_harrison@juno.com Spouse: Sylvia Children: Bern and Beth My favorite memory from seminary is during one student retreat we saw a film about St. Vincent DePaul. During that retreat, we also had a Lovefeast during which we washed each other’s hands instead of feet. I introduced this service at both of the churches I served. Interestingly, in the last 30 years, both churches have washed feet instead of hands. My favorite professors were Dr. Overmeyers, who taught New Testament, and Dr. James Will. Both professors made class interesting and stimulating. After graduation, I pastored a small church in Auborn, IL, for three years. Then I pastored a small church in Richmond, VA, for three years. After this, I went back to school at VCU and earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology. I could not find employment, and so, in the summer of 1973, I moved to South Bend, IN, to house-sit for my in-laws. While there, I joined the staff of Hope Rescue Mission where I coordinated the detoxification and suicide prevention centers. I became the executive director of the mission in 1981 and retired from there in 2000. Now, I volunteer at the mission (renamed Hope Ministries), where I am the president of the Center for Peace and Nonviolence. I am the treasurer of a local neighborhood association, a member of the local Audubon Society, and an active bird watcher. I am also an active member of a local Church of the Brethren congregation. Book: The Powers That Be, by Walter Wink, is the best book I’ve come across that makes a case for nonviolent resistance to evil. Homosexuality and Christian Faith, edited by Walter Wink, offers a responsible treatment of homosexuality/ gender orientation issues and presents what I consider to be a truly Christian approach to the matter.

Lynn Kollath Contact Info: 920-731-5809 | lvkoll@yahoo.com Spouse: Vida Children: One son, Jonathan; one daughter, Kristen; and four grandchildren. My favorite memory from seminary is singing in and going on tour with the chapel choir. I enjoyed living in the “married students” apartment building where we made friends from all over the country and the world. The practical pastoral experience I gained under the skillful tutelage of Rev. Samuel Batt was invaluable. My favorite professor was Dr. K. James Stein for his passionate history lectures. I always left his class with sore fingers from trying to keep up writing notes. In my first appointment in Marshfield, I had a moment of serendipity when I found that some members of the church were his relatives. After graduation, I learned how to be a husband, pastor, and student all at the same time. Thank God for a forgiving wife and caring professors! Now I have been retired for 13 years. I enjoy woodworking, restoring old tractors, gardening, and traveling. I am part of the Ministry Mentors group in our conference, where I give guidance and friendship to hardworking pastors. I also enjoy Bible teaching. What I want to do is write a compilation of my old sermons. If only they didn’t keep putting me to sleep! Book: Right now I’m reading Korea, the Impossible Country. We have a significant number of Korean pastors in our conference and our current pastor is Korean. I have been involved in helping our congregation adapt to this cross-cultural appointment.

Richard Alger Contact Info: 808-238-5605 | inkspotbon@gmail.com My fondest memories from Garrett-Evangelical are from the typical events of week: in class, at study, and at the chapel services. As I commuted weekly from Wisconsin, where I served a circuit of rural UMC congregations, our 3-5 person carpool taught me a great deal about practical theology and ministry. I appreciated everyone who contributed to my spiritual and educational growth at Garrett-Evangelical. After a busy weekend, I treasured the inspiring chapel services and classes. Dr. Lovelace’s short but uplifting preludes and postludes on the great organ were encouraging. I particularly remember Dr. Watson, with his British humor and both eyes looking at the back ceiling corner; Dr. Kolbe and his gravelly voice; Dr. Kraft, who brought the Old Testament to life with a laugh, saying, “If all the Northwestern students really knew what was in the Old Testament, they would all be studying the Bible!”; and Drs. Saunders, Blair, and Sundberg, who continually made the New Testament come alive. I dreaded the oral comps we all had to pass. Under the pressure of comps, I blanked on the essential message of ministry, forgetting Dr. Hordern’s Lutheran theology of grace and forgiveness. Dr. Wise brought all the learning together in the context of the real world of the parish people. Ministry is a lifelong process, a work in progress, and I am still learning! After 55 years of services in United Methodist churches, Hawaii UCC parishes, full time, part time, retirement interims and study sabbaticals, I am blessed! Everyone at Garrett-Evangelical contributed to my well being and growth in the midst of a beautiful journey only God knew and I would never have imagined. Mahalo nui loa to all!

Jon Steven Burris Contact Info: 260-348-7449 | burisjarol@aol.com Spouse: Lee Children: Lisa (Deceased), Mark, Susan, Paul, Deborah, and John. My favorite memory from seminary is late night conversations with my friends John Geiger, Glen Quam, and Gary Boucher. My favorite professor was Dr. Henry Kolbe, who challenged me to think philosophically and to beware of "absolutes." After graduation, I spent six years in pastoral ministry, followed by a 15 year venture in the business world. I ended my business ventures in 1984 as the National Sales Manager of a Fortune 500 company. I returned to the ministry from 1984-2001, during which time I held two pastorates and spent six years as a Council Director in the Indiana Conference. I retired in 2001. Now, I spend my time doing local church fundraising, directing leadership retreats, and serving quarter-time as an Associate District Superintendent for the Indiana Conference. I enjoy playing golf, reading books, cycling, and vacationing with my wife. What I want to do is travel through New England.

Ralph Cairns Contact Info: 541-567-7119 Spouse: Shirley Children: Five children, nine grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. My favorite memory from seminary is when school was cancelled due to a snowstorm and we had a big snowball fight in the middle courtyard of the married students apartment complex. My favorite professor was Dr. Charles Kraft because he made the Old Testament come alive. After graduation, I served several United Methodist churches in the Oregon-Idaho conference for 14 years. After that, I became a hospital and nursing home chaplain in Hermiston, OR, for 20 years. I have been retired for almost 16 years now! Now I still preside for weddings, funerals, along with the occasional fill-in at our local church. I help lead grief groups and serve on the board for the local hospice. I enjoy traveling with my wife, reading, watching movies, volunteering, and providing services through our local Lions Club. What I want to do is travel to Arizona for sightseeing and to see the Seattle Mariner’s spring training games. My wife and I enjoy traveling with Adventure Tours. We always have a good time with the other travelers and our wonderful tour guides. Book: The Future, by Al Gore, gives a good explanation of what is going on in the world. This is important so that we can be effective in church and ministry.

Howard Changwan Cho (Class of 1962) Contact Info: +82-2-412-0732 | occupancy@hanmail.net Spouse: Sue Children: One son, Eric; and three daughters, Bonnie, Jennie, and Sally. My favorite memory from seminary is the beautiful campus along the lakeshore. In the men’s dormitory we could hear the sound of the waves from Lake Michigan. I also have special memories of the library, where I spent a lot of time studying and working. My favorite professor was Dr. Kraft who taught about the Old Testament with kindness and a calm demeanor. His voice and pronunciation were very clear and easy to understand for international students. I especially appreciated his kind and comforting attitude during class. After graduation, I pastored multiple churches in the US, Canada, and South Korea, during which time I also wrote three books. Over the last 20 years, I have travelled to 49 different countries doing missionary work. Now, I do evangelistic work with my old high school and college classmates in South Korea. I also do education and spiritual formation workshops for working pastors in South Korea. What I want to do is more traveling to countries I have not yet visited as a missionary. I would also like to write more books.

After graduation, I spent a year in CPE at the State Hospital in Columbia, SC. Following this, I had four appointments in Minnesota, where I also served on various conference boards, jurisdictional committees, and the General Board of Discipleship. I was a delegate to General Conferences and also served as the Chair of the Western Association of Church and Ministry while pastoring a UCC/UM church. My wife and I have traveled throughout Europe, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Kenya, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and to all 50 states. Now, I enjoy traveling and reading. I am an active member of the Minnesota Conference and Christ United Methodist Church Foundations. I am also a member of two Covenant Disciple groups. My wife and I are presently preparing to move into a retirement community. We love to visit family and friends in the DC area, Seattle, California, and Florida. I am often consulted by current pastors and laity, preside over weddings and funerals, and, when asked by my District Superintendent, chair various church conferences. What I want to do is visit New England in the fall to see the colors and some college friends. Book: Bill Moyers’ Journal by Bill Moyers, in which the author summarizes conversations he has had with a variety of people from all walks of life. This book serves as excellent background for any pastor in his/her preaching while exposing him/her to the real world.

Harold Cooper Contact Info: 316-682-4524 | cpjcph@cox.net Spouse: Jane (deceased) Children: Mary, Carolyn, and David. Six grandchildren. My favorite memory from seminary is the fellowship of informal gathering at mealtimes where we had discussions of life. My favorite professor was…are you kidding? I loved them all and their unique talents and knowledge. After graduation, I became a member of the Central Kansas Conference of The Methodist Church (Kansas West and now the Great Plains Conference), within which I was appointed five times. The first appointment was among several rural churches; the second was a church plant; the third, a suburban church in Wichita; the fourth was First UMC in Pratt; and the fifth was First UMC in Dodge City. I traveled extensively and did a pulpit exchange in 1980. After retiring in 1997, my wife and I took cruises and spent the winter months in Florida. Now, I hope to grow old gracefully. Since retirement, a few preaching requests have come my way. The most fun request was a position as substitute organist in various congregations for three months. Retirement has also found me serving part-time on the staff of two congregations, in which I call on the elderly, the ill, and the first time visitors. What I want to do is begin traveling again. I have stopped much of my travels after my wife’s death, except for trips to see family, but would like to do some more on my own. Book: I enjoy biographies most, particularly ones about the people who created this nation. Reading these biographies helps take away the mystery surrounding these “giants.” Through the process, one discovers that they were normal people with a passion, even if not fully pure. I am presently reading Bonhoeffer's biography, which reminds me of how evil Hitler truly was.

Helen Crede Contact Info: 303-776-0428 | hlcrede@gmail.com Spouse: Herbert Children: Two daughters, Cathy and Amy. My favorite memory from seminary is the winter dance of 1961. Herb invited me. I had sewn a dress for myself over the Christmas holiday hoping he would ask me. It was a magical event that marked the beginning of a more than 50 year journey! My favorite professor was Professor Tyler Thompson who taught major world religions. He was so handsome and had a very compelling personal story. He had been a prisoner of war during the Second World War and often spoke of it in class. After graduation, I was a stay-at-home wife and mother for a few years. My first job returning to the work force was as a pre-school teacher. I served on several conference boards, including ones focused on Social Concerns, Education, and the General Commission on the Status and Role of Women. I became director of Pre-Schools in the Park in Springfield, IL. During this time I also worked for John Wood Community College in Quincy, IL, eventually becoming the Director of Community Education there. I retired from there after 19 years. In retirement, I served as the president of the Quincy branch of the American Association of University Women and the Adams Co. League of Women Voters. Now, I’m in several books clubs. I serve as a board member for the Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, am on the St. Vrain Safe Schools Coalition, and mentor children at a nearby grade school. I am also a member of the Justice Seekers, a group at First United Methodist Church in Longmont, CO, that is currently working towards being a reconciling congregation. What I want to do is see our congregation become reconciling – we’re almost there! Book: It’s hard to choose just one book, but some authors that I love include Barbara Kingsolver, Christopher Hedges, John Dominic Crossan, Marcus Borg, Karen Armstrong, Paul Tillich, Reinhold Niebuhr, and Walter Bruggeman.

Herbert Crede Contact Info: 303-776-0428 | hlcrede@gmail.com Spouse: Helen Children: Two daughters, Cathy and Amy. My favorite memory from seminary is the fellowship around the lunch tables, where I began falling in love with my wife. My favorite professors were Dr. Ernest Saunders and Dr. E. P. Blair, both of whom made the New Testament much clearer and relatable to the modern world. After graduation, I was appointed to various churches in Illinois, including in Pontiac, Buffalo, Quincy, and Springfield. After these I was appointed to extension ministries at Sunset Home in Quincy until my retirement. Now, I greet each day with gratitude that I am still here and know it, and have the opportunity to live a quiet life. I love reading, walking, exploring the mountains, eating (mostly) what I want, and participating in church with no responsibilities. What I want to do is travel and visit some old friends.

Lynn DeMoss Contact Info: 231-744-0336 | puzisha4lynn@frontier.com Spouse: Lois (deceased); Kay Children: Jeffrey and Jennifer (both with Lois). Three grandchildren. My favorite memory from seminary was during my first year of seminary (1956-7), I met many students who were either returning from short-term missions trips or were about to go overseas to serve. I was so inspired by them that I took a hiatus from seminary to serve for three years as a Methodist missionary in the (then Belgian) Congo. That experience had a profound impact on my life and ministry. It gave me a different perspective upon my return to seminary and a lifelong love of Africa and continued interest/involvement in missions. My favorite professors/faculty members were Dr. Dwight Loder, later my bishop and a lifelong friend, who was a model of effective administration; Dr. Charles (Chucklin’ Charlie) Kraft, who gave me an abiding love of the Old Testament and delighted me with his humor; Dr. William Hordern, who taught me to think both critically and theologically; Dr. Merrill Abbey, who had a profound effect on my preaching and spiritual life; and Viola Bond, Dr. Loder’s gracious secretary. After graduation, I spent 34 years as a pastor in West Michigan. I was a member of many boards and agencies, but my greatest involvements were youth church camps and mission endeavors. I served on the General Board of Global ministries in several capacities, at both the jurisdiction and conference level. In 1982, the General Board sent our family to the Congo where I taught a semester at Mulungwishi Seminary. Now, in retirement I spend time with family and volunteer in church, community, and conference activities. In addition to much private travel, I have organized 14 group trips. In 2010, Kay and I had our fifth extended stay in Africa since retirement in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Our grandsons were with us throughout those four months of service. I thoroughly enjoy teaching and writing. Currently, I am teaching an adult class called “Scandalous Stories in the Bible.” I like to read nonfiction, especially works relating to international affairs. For relaxation, I read poetry and novels by Douglas Reeman. I have special satisfaction from actively working with the people in our church’s neighborhood.

What I want to do is many things! I would like to travel with my wife to Alaska to visit the small Aleut and Native American villages where I spent my first seven years. I would also like to return to seminary to be intellectually challenged. Book: A book I read many years ago, The Theology of Hope by Jurgen Moltmann, has continued to provoke and challenge my thinking. I would encourage graduates to read voraciously, including heavy doses of poetry in their repertoire, and to regularly take courses throughout their ministry.

Paul Harold Dude Contact Info: 630-740-9355 | pdude@comcast.net Significant Other: Carol Dunn Children: Two sons, Stephen and David; one daughter, Susan; and five grandchildren. My favorite memory from seminary is the whole experience! My favorite professor was Dr. Murray Leiffer, professor of urban ministries (sociology). He turned me on to church research, histograms, a bit of quantitative descriptions, what life insurance was, and looking out for the hucksters. In other words, he turned me on to things terrestrial. His influence resulted in me reading an economics textbook and a statistics textbook, strictly for my own personal exploration, while still in seminary. After graduation, I served various churches, while in and out of graduate schools, for nine years. I graduated from Cornell University with an MBA in Hospital Administration and Corporate and Public Finance. After this, I was the Assistant Conference Treasurer for the CaliforniaPacific Annual Conference in Pasadena, CA. Following this, I held finance positions in local and state government before heading up two hospitals and three multi-hospital organizations. All the while, I worked as an adjunct professor of finance, economics, and fund-accounting at various colleges. I retired in my late 50s only to take up another position as the Planned Giving Director for a higher-education institution. Now, I am volunteering for a financier who advises Bond Issuers (hospitals, churches, higher education institutions, and local governments). I also volunteer to accompany pastors and church foundation members, as well as fundraising staffs of higher education and hospital foundations, in their visits to potential donors. What I still want to do is step up my high school, college, and graduate school classmate interactions, being the class reunion "junkie" that I am! I would also like to travel more with my significant other, spend more time with our children and grandchildren, and buy a "snow bird" house in the Phoenix area while continuing to live in the Naperville/Aurora area of Illinois.

John Gooch Contact Info: 816-347-9505 | jogooch@aol.com Spouse: Beth Children: One son, Carl; one daughter, Nina; and two granddaughters. My favorite memory from seminary is the study groups we formed to prepare for the oral comprehensive exams. My favorite professor was Dr. Samuel Laeuchli. He opened the door to church history for me, encouraged me by inviting me to join in a graduate seminar on Augustine, and taught me to love the early church fathers. One result of his influence is my doctorate in historical theology from St. Louis University. After graduation, I pastored various churches ranging from 15 to 1100 members in Missouri East Conference for 23 years. I also taught at St. Louis University, Eden Theological Seminary, St. Paul School of Theology, and Perkins School of Youth Ministry.

I was the interim Executive Editor of Friendship Press, of the National Council of Churches. I have authored 13 books, over 50 articles and book reviews, and dozens of curriculum units. Now, I am actively involved in the Rotary Club, where I chair various district and local committees. Additionally, I teach a Bible study and two senior learning courses in the retirement community where I live. I edit the historical journal of the Missouri Conference. My hobbies include history, travel, and spoiling my granddaughters. What I want to do is travel to Rome, Greece, and Turkey and write one more book on church history.

I have too many good memories from seminary to pick a favorite! Serving as assistant minister at Diamond Lake Methodist Church in Mundelein, IL, for two years was special. My favorite professors were Professor Charles Kraft for Old Testament and Professor Edward Blair for New Testament. Both of them opened up the Bible for me. In addition, Dr. Austin Lovelace’s church music courses provided me with principles and practices that I used throughout my ministry. After graduation, I spent 26 years as a pastor in four different congregations, followed by a sabbatical in which I did CPE. I spend the last 14 years of my ministry as a Chaplain for the Shorehaven Homes in Oconomowoc, WI. Now, I am the permanent substitute organist for a United Church of Christ congregation five miles from my home. I'm also trying to catch up on reading some classics, such as Ivanhoe and The Count of Monte Cristo. What I want to do is I spent much of my life in recent years as a fulltime caregiver to my wife, who passed away in 2012 from complications related to Alzheimer’s disease. Because of that, I never made a “bucket list” but instead learned to be content with the wonderful life I’ve had. Book: This Odd and Wondrous Calling by Lillian Daniel and Martin Copenhaver.

Carl Martin Contact Info: 316-636-9355 | martinhaus@cox.net Spouse: Mary Lou Children: One son, Andrew; one daughter, Mary; and four grandchildren. My favorite memory from seminary is when we participated in our first year orientation in the fall of 1960 and met classmates John and Beth Gooch and Fritz and Etta Mae Mutti. The moments of getting acquainted are one of the most important and sacred in our lives. We knew from the very beginning that we shared a common history and values. It was a friendship that began by studying together, eating popcorn and drinking Pepsi, babysitting for Tim Mutti, and awaiting the births of Fred Mutti and Nina Gooch. Together we learned how to live in a small urban apartment while A. C. Nesmith, the apartment manager, cheered us on. We saved money so we could occasionally go to our favorite place on Howard Street to share the best pizza and salad to be found. After graduation, we gathered together for Thanksgiving in 1963, and have arranged some sort of gathering every year since. Our times together have produced many meaningful and effective stories for the church and the world; we have been on location together in a least 25 different places. We refer to our friendship as “MGM” (Mutti-Gooch-Martin). My favorite professors were Dr. Ernest Saunders, Dr. Sam Laeuchli, and Dr. Albert Sundberg, Jr. In 1963 I participated in a travel seminar through Italy and Greece that was led by Drs. Saunders and Laeuchli. It was a life-changing experience for me. The two leaders were very different and the travel time allowed me to have many personal conversations with each of them The power of the arts in nurturing the spiritual and religious elements of human life flowed like rivers from these two mentors. Dr. Sundberg was my program advisor; my research for my program was related to his examination of the “testimony book” hypothesis. It is difficult for me to choose one of these three as my favorite. I am so grateful for each of them and am thankful that I was able to visit and correspond with them after graduation. After graduation, I was ordained as an elder in the Kansas West Conference. I was appointed to three local churches before being appointed as the Superintendent of the Winfield District under the direction of Bishop Benjamin Oliphant. From 1967-74 I was a chaplain at Southwest College in Winfield, KS. That appointment and service involved dealing with the intense issues of the Vietnam War. From 1988-98, I served as the President of Southwestern College; this role allowed me multiple relationships with the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry. In 2001, I served as the interim President and CEO for The United Methodist Youthville in Kansas. Following this, I accepted multiple short-term positions in various local churches. My most recent position has been serving as an interim co-pastor for University Congregational Church in Wichita, KS.

Now, one of my main hobbies is caring for and driving a restored 1947 Chevy pick-up truck that I own with my brother-in-law. I grew up on a dairy and wheat farm in Western Kansas where trucks like this one were a source of fun and livelihood. Together with my brother-in-law, I have preserved that history and memory, while also teaching our grandsons how to drive with a manual clutch. What I want to do is attend the 50 year reunion of my seminary class!

W. Calvin McCutcheon Contact Info: 304-472-8432 Spouse: Sondra Children: Two sons, Mark and Ross; one daughter, Beth; and seven grandchildren. My favorite memory from seminary is a six week travel seminar to Western Europe in which we visited six different countries to study the role of the church in rural communities under the leadership of Dr. Rocky Smith. My favorite professor was Dr. Ernest Saunders, who made the New Testament come alive for me. I learned so much and enjoyed his class immensely! His courses were very helpful in my preaching. After graduation, I completed my fourth year as a student pastor in Richland Center, IN, and completed 12 weeks of CPE training at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. After this, I returned to West Virginia and served for 37 years as a rural circuit minister in the following circuits: Craigsville (six churches) for five years; Webster Springs (eight churches) for seven years; Moorefield (five churches) for seven years; Summersville (two churches) for 10 years; and Romney (one church) for eight years. After 41 years, I retired and then served two short-term appointments at Alton-Indian Camp and Sand Hill. In addition, I served for three years at Harner Chapel (three churches) in Morgantown, WV, and for six years in North Buckhannon (four churches). In total, I have spent 44 years in full time ministry and six years in part time ministry. I finally entered into complete retirement in June 2012. I received several honors from my conference including: 1969 Pastor of the Year; 1973 Pastor of the Year; Coordinator of Cooperative Parish of the Year in 1981; and the Harry Denman Evangelism Award for the West Virginia Conference in 2007. Throughout my time in ministry, I participated in Evangelistic Missions to Mexico (1970) and Peru (1973). I led the first international work mission to Mexico in 1975 and another to Costa Rica in 1998. In addition, I was appointed as a delegate to the World Methodist Conference in: Nairobi, Kenya (1986); Singapore (1991); Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (1996); and Seoul, Korea (2006). I was appointed to the World Methodist Council in Brighton, England, in 2001 and in Durban, South Africa, in 2011. From what I learned from Dr. Rocky Smith, I was elected to the county school board and helped pass a bond that had failed twice before. While I served, the board built a new high school, elementary school, and multi-purpose buildings in various districts. Eventually I was elected

president of the school board. I served on other municipal boards and helped get a new sewer system for the county seat, a new library, and a new nursing home. I am perhaps the only person to receive a scholarship to the seminary for sheep shearing. I have won seven West Virginia state championships in sheep shearing, hold two state records, and have served as one of two judges for the state championships for the past six years. In 62 years, I have sheared almost 100,000 sheep. Now, I am working on landscaping our two acres. I enjoy gardening. In a few years, we will have three sections of various flowers and shrubs that will bloom continuously for seven months. I plan to complete our basement. I’m still visiting and evangelizing with older people. God has blessed me with this gift and with his help I have led more than 60 people, ages 60-92 years, to make a first-time commitment to Christ and be baptized. What I want to do is attend the world sheep shearing championship in New Zealand in March 2015.

William Larry Mitchell Contact Info: 515-292-4475 | mitchell2117@msn.com Spouse: Sara Children: Two children, Lisa and Clark; three grandsons; and one granddaughter. My favorite memory from seminary is in my middle year, my suitemates confirmed to me my calling to ministry. That confrontation made me look at myself in a new way: I saw my gifts, options, and many opportunities. It also made me look at Garrett-Evangelical in a new way. I stopped taking for granted the many gifted teachers and diverse faith community available to me at the seminary. My favorite professors was Dr. Samuel Laeuchli because he was a demanding scholar and a teacher of conviction, whose reformed theology informed his teaching in a positive and beneficial way. He made a concerted effort to have us deal with art and culture as we deepened our faith. Additionally, he and his wife often graciously hosted us in their Evanston home. After graduation, I became a Presbyterian (PCUSA) pastor. I had three long-term pastorates in Wisconsin and Iowa, during which I sought to emphasize pastoral care in my ministry. I also completed international exchanges in Australia and Scotland. I received a degree from Princeton Theological Seminary and did four interim pastorates before retiring. Now, besides writing, I play tennis three times a week, do some wood carving, and also do development work at Collegiate Presbyterian Church in Ames, IA. I am also on the curriculum committee of the Osher Lifetime Learning Institute at Iowa State University, where I occasionally teach and coordinate. What I want to do is finish writing my memoirs and family history. I also like to write the occasional sermon!

My favorite professor was Dr. Merrill R. Abbey, who honed the skills I needed for a lifetime of preaching. After graduation, I had several appointments in the Missouri West Conference, including: the Union Star Circuit, Savannah Crossroads Parish, Conference Director, and District Superintendent. In 1992 I was elected to the episcopacy and assigned to the Kansas area. Now, I’m a trustee at Saint Paul School of Theology, an ambassador for Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, a member of the Rotary Club, and on the Board for the Shepherd’s Center.

Duane Parker Contact Info: 425-290-7931 Spouse: Barbara Children: Two daughters, Stacy and Pamela; and one son, John. My time at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary included much personal learning about married life, parenting, and ministerial life. My wife and I were grateful for friends who were in similar situations, and thus learning these lessons together. I cannot overstate the importance of our relationships with peers from diverse and interesting backgrounds. From the beginning there was a feeling of welcome and hospitality from the seminary’s administrators, faculty, and students. Course work was a challenge and required new ways of thinking. My advisor was New Testament professor, Dr. Edwin Blair. He gently guided me in selecting and enrolling in courses. He also helped me understand the Bible as a book with many parts to be studied with academic acuity and seriousness. He was a true gift! I have not forgotten George Buttrick in preaching class asking us, “If God was smart enough to create the world in six days and take one day off, why do preachers think they should work seven days?” I have always taken time to reflect on this question. One unofficial event at the seminary that I particularly remember was the Friday afternoon Sports Spectacular. A group of us would gather to play football in the fall on the grassy area in front of the chapel, basketball in the winter in the gym, and softball in the spring. We had some very competitive games and released a lot of pent up energy! The courses I enjoyed most were with Dr. Carroll Wise and focused on pastoral care and clinical pastoral education. His unique mixture of CPE history, personality theory, helping methods, and stories fed my inquiring mind and searching soul. He encouraged me to pursue my dream of becoming an institutional chaplain. He recommended me for a unit of clinical pastoral education at the Boy’s Industrial School in St. Charles, IL. I loved the combination of providing pastoral services, learning from experience, and struggling with how to integrate classroom learning with clinical work. Dr. Wise encouraged me to take further CPE courses and recommended me for the program at Topeka State Hospital in Topeka, KS. I took a couple years of CPE and in 1967 was certified as a CPE Supervisor by the newly formed Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE). In Kansas I was ordained as an Elder and accepted into full membership in the Kansas East Conference, where I remain today. I served at churches in Whiting, Netawaka, and Elmont, all of which are in Kansas. I served as CPE Supervisor at the Hadley Regional Medical Center and the High Plains Mental Health Center in Hays, KS. I also started a new CPE in Providence, RI, called Interfaith Health Care Ministries. It was a unique program owned by the Board of Rabbis,

41


Catholic Diocese of Providence, and the Rhode Island State Council of Churches that involved Brown University Medical School and several area hospitals. For ten years I also served as the Executive Director of the National Association for Clinical Pastoral Education, whose offices were located in Decatur, GA. My involvement in the Kansas East Conference offered me a unique experience when classmate Fritz Mutti was elected bishop. I never expected to be accountable to a classmate but am glad for the experience. Overall, my time at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary was formative in many ways. I grew from a naïve and simple pilgrim with plenty of answers to life’s mysteries to an inquirer, ready to ask faith questions and search for options while viewing the complexities of life. My calling to a career serving people in crisis in hospitals, hospices, and psychiatric hospitals/clinics while also teaching CPE students the art of pastoral care took root while at the seminary. I am very grateful for this experience!

Joretta Purdue Contact Info: 719 227-1912 | jepurdue@yahoo.com Children: One daughter, Patricia. My favorite memory from seminary is impossible to pick! One memory that sticks out is of me sitting on the floor of the little chapel, using my phonograph to play a Mormon Tabernacle Choir recording of the Lord’s Prayer to guide a meditation for an evening worship service. My favorite professors were Drs. Shockley, Hodern, and Wise. Dr. Shockley, my advisor, was both patient and helpful. Drs. Hodern and Wise taught theology and psychology, respectively, and I loved their subject matter. In all sincerity, I had great respect for all of my professors. After graduation, I spent two years working for The Methodist Story, where I had already been working. In 1967, I met a young Navy lieutenant named Rick Purdue while I was traveling in Italy. A year later, I moved to Durant, OK, to teach at Southeastern State University. Rick and I married in 1969, while he was a graduate student at Oklahoma University. During this time, I found a job reporting for Oklahoma City newspapers. In 1973, our daughter was born and we moved to New England for Rick’s work. Fifteen months later, we moved to Illinois where Rick worked for the Illinois State Museum. Rick and I divorced in 1979, and I began working for Southern Illinois University’s School of Medicine’s publications. Shortly before the 1984 General Conference, I became the managing editor of The Interpreter. At the beginning of 1993, I transferred to Washington, D.C., with the United Methodist News Service, a job which brought me into contact with many more United Methodists. I was very privileged to attend a wide variety of agency and inter-agency meetings as a reporter, and was even able to travel to Estonia and Italy for work. I retired in 2003 and relocated to Colorado Springs, where my daughter teaches physics at Colorado College. Now, I love living my life. I especially love flowers, music, and reading mysteries. Book: The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling is the younger generation’s version of C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia series. The series culminates in the classic battle between good and evil. Pound Foolish: Exploring the Dark Side of the Personal Finance Industry by Helaine Olen examines American beliefs about money and the ramifications for life and death in the US.

Glenn Quam Contact Info: 727-895-6176 Spouse: Vivian Children: Debra, Kathy, and Daniel (deceased). My favorite memory from seminary is the development of close friendships. We still get together once a year with seminary friends. I also enjoyed the talent show for wives week every May. My favorite professor was Dr. Blair. He was very sensitive to me when I was going through a personal crisis. After graduation, I pastored churches in the Minnesota, Guyana, South Africa, and Florida conferences. I completed the requirements for my D.Min. in 1979. From 1980-1, I worked with the Body of Discipleship in Nashville, TN. In 1983, I helped found Sumtree UMC in Melbourne, FL, a congregation that has grown from 70 charter members to 3,000 members in 20 years. I have also traveled to over 40 different countries. Now, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 1998. My wife and I established a scholarship fund at the seminary in the name of Glenn and Vivian Quam.

Mary Rachau Contact Info: 847-392-4160 | erachau@hotmail.com Spouse: Ernest (deceased) Children: A son, David; and a daughter, Elizabeth. My favorite memory from seminary is sharing a dorm room with Joyce Haberman and Wilma Roberts, though not at the same time. We supported each other during the ups and downs of seminary life and managed to enrich each other’s experience in the process. My favorite professor was Dr. Sandberg because he made me think about and begin to understand the Bible. As a very confused young woman, I was blessed by his willingness to reveal the depth of his faith in class; he was one of the few who did so. After graduation, I worked as a caseworker and later a supervising caseworker at the Cook County Department of Public Aid. After six years, I left my position to raise my family, during which time I also worked part-time at the Palatine Public library in Palatine, IL. I retired from there after 29 years of service. I also worked part time as the Director of the Northwest Suburban Hispanic Ministries, with an office located in First UMC of Palatine. I learned to speak Spanish fluently as I interacted with the families that came to us for help; some of our projects included assisting Hispanic families with school enrollment, English as a Second Language education, legal aid, and operating a small food pantry and clothing distribution service. Now, I am finishing up some house remodeling projects, including giving the main floor of the house a face lift. I am addicted to square dancing and round dancing. Friends in each of these activities have contributed to my keeping sane over the last two years. I am also involved in church activities and have taught Sunday School for the past 40 years. What I want to do is revisit Denmark where I spent five years of my childhood. I would also like to take an Alaskan cruise that some of my friends have gone on and raved about. I hope to remarry at some point. It would also be rewarding to finish some of my designated projects. Book: Heaven is For Real and Heaven Changes Everything by Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent; To Heaven and Back by Mary C. Neal. All of these books have bolstered my faith in the hereafter that Jesus promised us when he was on earth.

George “Gene� Simon Contact Info: 303-905-2348 | simon.gene@yahoo.com Spouse: Peg Children: Two sons, Christopher and Paul; and four grandchildren. My favorite memory from seminary is attending chapel services where I was privileged to hear good sermons by Bishop Gerald Kennedy, President Dwight Loder, and several other preachers. My favorite professor was Dr. Grant Shockley. Dr. Shockley was competent, caring, and excited about sharing the content of his courses. After graduation, I served as an associate minister and youth leader at Pontiac First UMC from 1963-65. From 1965-70 I was the minister at Moweaqua First UMC. From 1970-72 I was an associate minister and youth leader at Decatur First UMC; during this time I also began attending further graduate classes at the University of Illinois. From 1973-75 I was the executive director and therapist at Moutrie County Medical Health Center. In 1975, I earned my Master of Arts in Human Development Counseling from the University of Illinois. I was then appointed to serve as CEO/president of Chaddock, a UM agency that provides services for children, youth, and families. I retired in 2006. I also earned my doctor of education degree at Nova Southeastern University. Now, I split my time between Missoula, MT, with my son Paul and his family, and Arvada, CO, with my son Christopher and his family. I spend lots of time with my grandchildren. I have spent the last several years supporting Peg as she deals with cancer. I also travel, read, support nonprofits, and work on social justice issues through churches in Montana and Colorado. What I want to do is travel in Europe. Book: Twilight of the Elites by Christopher Hayes helps readers understand the world of the haves and have-nots.

Carol Joseph Smith Contact Info: 414-607-7142 | csmith1121@wi.rr.com Spouse: Janet Children: Two sons, Mark and Joel; and six grandchildren. My favorite memory from seminary is the chapel services with the robust singing of the men's voices. My favorite professors were Dr. Laeuchli, Swiss professor in church history who had unbelievably high standards. I also enjoyed New Testament professors Dr. Blair and Dr. Saunders. Last, but not least, Professor Austin Lovelace, from whom I took organ lessons. After graduation, I served in a variety of parish churches for 40 years in Wisconsin. I was very active in conference boards and committees. Now, at age 76, my health is poor. Parkinson's Disease has limited my interests. What I want to do is travel, although it is no longer an option. If it were, I'd like to visit throughout Asia, including India, China, Japan, and Korea. Book: Pilgrim for a Pilgrim Church by Archbishop Rembrant Weakland of Milwaukee, WI. These are the archbishop's memoirs that recount his accomplishments and fall from grace.

Richard Youells Contact Info: 616-243-3759 | gryouells@gmail.com Spouse: Carol Ann Children: Two sons, Andrew and Michael; and two daughters, Deborah and Rachel. My favorite memory from seminary is living in one of the old dormitory units, next to what was then the shore of Lake Michigan. I loved hearing the peaceful splashing of the waves accompanying my studies and lulling me to sleep. My favorite professor was Dr. Merrill Abbey, who taught the single Gospel of John. He had recently been a pastor in my home state, and I caught his sense of pastoral care as he related John's unique portrayal of Jesus. After graduation, I was appointed to begin a new church. What a challenge! Then came our first child and three more later. I spent several years in campus ministry as the Wesley Foundation Director at Central Michigan University. After serving several more churches, I felt a special calling to inner-city ministry which took us to Grand Rapids and Muskegon Heights, MI. After retiring from my last assignment in Grand Haven, MI, we moved into our home. Our 17 years there was a blessing after 37 years in parsonages. We have now moved permanently to our UMC's Clark Retirement Community and are enjoying life together here in a town house. Now, I keep quite busy by serving on the Board of Trustees at First UMC, serving on the Metro Ministry Board of Trustees, and doing carpentry work and other building upkeep at First UMC. I also teach a number of Bible and theology classes at the church. My wife and I enjoy going to the symphony, spending time with our grandchildren, and being involved in other activities which our church and Clark afford us. What I want to do is continue to participate in the myriad number of activities in Clark. There are so many books I still want to read, movies to watch, and friendships here to deepen. Book: The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander. Did Jesus Exist? by Bart E. Ehrman. I have also just reread Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Man and Incarnation by Gustaf Wingren.
